(Lanka-e-News -03.Nov.2016, 10.20PM) The former chairman of Northern rehabilitation and development agency alias RADA , Tiran Alles M.P. who did not build a single house for the victims of Tsunami out of the funds granted by the government for that purpose ,and who jointly with the LTTE leaders defrauded in a sum of Rs. 650 million approximately, and three others were ordered to be remanded until the 10 th of November by the Colombo chief magistrate Ms. Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena yesterday (02)
The culprit who sought to pull the wool over the eyes of the law by filing a fundamental rights petition in the supreme court to bar his arrest while investigations were on going, even successfully delayed the acceptance of the indictment served on him in relation to a case that is being heard against him in the high court. However , recently the SC ending the ‘merry go round the Mulberry bush’ that was all those days going on in courts , decided that the serving of indictments by the high court is not unlawful . Finally Alles was served with the indictment.
Tiran Alles who was most elusive and deceptive in the end ended up in remand custody yesterday.
Alles launched the Mawbima newspaper out of the robbed funds. . Until the 8th of January 2015 ,this newspaper was used as an organ most unscrupulously by corrupt and criminal Rajapakses who are presently most discarded , despised and detested by the people . Now ,it is crystal clear these disgraceful activities were resorted to in order to cover up the rackets of Tiran Alles. In fact two main editors have now left the Institution.
The other accomplices of Tiran Alles in the RADA fraud who were remanded today are : Saliya Wickremesooriya the chief operations officer, and Dr. Jayantha Dias Samarasinghe . It is noteworthy , Dr. Saliya was the first owner of Rajapakse’s Carlton mansion.
Emil Kanthan supposed to be an erstwhile LTTE leader ,who is also a suspect in the case has fled the country .An Interpol warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The investigation into this scam was conducted under the supervision of SP Mevan De Silva ,the Director of Police special investigation unit

It is also prudent to find out if Kithsiri Pathirana, Director, Tsunami Rehab Project too is guilty of misusing funds.

Carlton was owned by Saliya's grandparents and owned by their youngest son, Saliya's uncle Dr Tissa Wickramasuriya on their death. MR asked for a room in Carlton to have an office. When Tissa left to take up a job in the West Indies, MR occupied the whole house and Shrianthi started Carlton Pre-School, the only one until MR became President. Since 2010, MR who paid Rs 5000 per month as rent had been trying to buy Carton and in 2013, Tissa could not withstand the pressure and sold it at a low price.
