The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today informed the Fort Magistrate Court that the Chief of Defense Staff, former Navy Commander Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne is expected to be interrogated soon after his return to Sri Lanka.
The Criminal Investigations Department revealed this when the case regarding the abduction and disappearance of 11 youth was called before the Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne.
The CID told the court that the former Navy Commander has gone to Mexico to represent Sri Lanka and added that after his return to Sri Lanka he would be summoned to the CID for questioning.
