The offices of Sri Lanka’s Department of Muslim Religious Affairs have been burgled on Monday night, despite round the clock security.
At least three people, including a security guard, have been brought in for questioning said a spokesperson for the Sri Lankan police, with investigations still ongoing.
Though a clear motive has not been found private secretary to the Minister of Muslim Religious Affairs Fahim Hashim said "the Department was investigating several mosque issues and there is a tribunal case coming up on Saturday”.
“It is too early to say why the burglar or burglars broke open the accounts section of the Department," he added.
Meanwhile Chairman of the Islamic Solidarity Front Reyyaz Salley said he suspected the robbery to have been an “inside job”.
