Former UPFA MP Namal Rajapaksa categorically refuted allegations that his family is involved in the death of former Havelock’s Captain Wasim Thajudeen in any way.
Speaking to BBC in a special interview, Namal Rajapaksa said that they were family friends. They have been to Thajudeen’s home often, Rajapaksa added. The friendship with him started from schooling days and lasted for five six years, he elaborated.
Wasim Thajudeen, a former Havelock’s SC Captain and a national rugger player, died in 2012, in what was then described as an accident. However, the CID informed Colombo Fort Magistrate recently that the death was no accident. His remains will be exhumed on August 10 for further investigations.
Several serious allegations have been made on the Rajapaksa family regarding the death of the rugger player. JVP leader Anura Dissanayake recently made a serious allegation that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s sons were behind the incident.
Meanwhile Cabinet Spokesman Dr. Rajitha Senaratne yesterday said that three PSD personnel were involved in the death.
