Indika Prabath’s wife, Naotunna Arachchige Piyumi, has requested the National Authority for the Protection of Victims against Crimes to take legal action against Chamika, the host of the Neth FM Balumgala program, for making defamatory statements against me and my husband’s reputation, challenging the order given by the Balapitiya Magistrate, and claiming that he knows information related to the murder of my husband. She is a woman who is under protection under the National Authority for the Protection of Victims.

My husband, Indika Prabath, was at No. 213, Welegedara, Belideniya, Kottegoda when a group of Police Special Task Force officers raided his house at around 10 pm on October 12, 2022, arrested him, took him to Ahungalla citing to show his weapons, and shot him dead. Balapitiya Magistrate R.D. Janaka, while announcing the post-mortem report, said that the death was a deliberate murder. The letter sent to the National Authority for the Protection of Victims of Violence states that the Magistrate ordered the arrest of Police Special Task Force Inspector Don Lakshman Amaratunga Kolombage, who shot and killed Indika Prabath, and that he has not been arrested yet.

I am employed in an executive level position in a well-known private company in the financial sector of the country. The letter she sent to the National Authority for the Protection of Victims further states that I have been subjected to severe mental stress and inconvenience due to the defamation committed by Chamika, the head of the Neth FM Balumgala. 

The letter sent to the National Authority for the Protection of Victims is published below.
