President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has stated that people should not worry about suspects being released on bail, as the law allows it if investigations are not obstructed.
Addressing concerns, the President highlighted delays in prominent cases, such as the Lasantha Wickrematunga murder, pending for over 15 years.
“Some say those getting arrested are bailed out soon. That is the law. Our objective is not to keep suspects in remand but to build strong cases, produce them before the High Court, and ensure the guilty are imprisoned,” he explained.
He emphasized that bail is permissible unless investigations are hindered or the case involves the Public Property Act. “Don’t panic just because they are getting out on bail,” he assured. (NewsWire)
