Investigators in Sri Lanka arrest ex-navy chief over abduction
Gulf Today
|July 29, 2025
Sri Lankan investigators arrested a former navy chief on Monday over the abduction and disappearance of a suspect 15 years ago, a police officer told AFP.
-
Admiral Nishantha Ulugetenne was taken into custody over the disappearance in 2010, when he headed the Directorate of Naval Intelligence, said a detective who asked not to be named as he was not authorised to speak to media.
Ulugetenne, who also served as Sri Lanka's ambassador to Cuba following his retirement from the navy in December 2022, was remanded in custody until Wednesday.
"We recorded a statement from him regarding the disappearance of a 48-year-old man in 2010 and he was later arrested," he said.
