Higher Education Minister S.B. Dissanayake's wife Tamara Dissanayake has forcibly taken charge of a valuable house in Barnes Place, Colombo with the help of IGP Dr. Mahinda Balasuriya, according to a senior official from the Police Headquarters.The house at 53/3, Barnes Place is owned by a Sri Lankan residing in the USA. Palitha Tenuwara, who had worked for a while at Sri Lanka Telecom, the house on rent and has not been rented out to any one else afterwards.
When S.B. Dissanayake's sons heard of a house in Barnes Place being shut without owners, they had informed of it to their mother and had decided forcibly take the place.
The senior police officer said that although the police have received information about many incidents where people have forcibly acquired lands and houses without owners in Colombo, the complaints have been discarded due to the involvement of politicians and underworld members in such acquisitions.
The official added that while most of these lands belong to Sri Lankan Tamil residing overseas, a large number of acquisitions have been made by underworld members affiliated to Minister Mervyn Silva.
