The body of former Havelock's SC captain and Sri Lankan ruggerite Wasim Thajudeen was exhumed at the Muslim burial grounds in Dehiwela this morning.
Tight security was in place and the media was not permitted to be at the site of the grave.
The Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishantha Peiris, on August 6, allowed for the exhumation to take place today, following a request by the CID.
Thajudeen died in 2012, in what was then described to be an accident. However, the CID recently reported to the magistrate that the death was no accident.
Several political leaders have pointed the finger towards the Rajapaksa family for the alleged murder of Thajudeen. However, both former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his eldest son Namal Rajapaksa vehemently denied any involvement of the family in the incident.
