Explaining the circumstance of the death of a Sri Lankan at Doha in Qatar on July 7, the Embassy in Qatar states that the body would be flown to the island within a week. The delay has been due to the documents pertaining to the incident being delayed by the Qatari police.
The embassy also states that the Qatari sponsor of deceased P.G.D.L. Bandara had requested a thorough police investigation into the incident. This had caused the delay according to the Embassy.
According to the sponsor, Mr. Bandara, an employee of a company by the name of Sultan Suwaidi Trading & Construction, Doha had set himself on fire at an abandoned accommodation away from the company accommodation on 06. 07.2010. He was immediately rushed to the Hamad Medical Corporation.
The next day the hospital had pronounced him dead. Following this, Mr. Bandara’s sponsor had urged for a thorough investigation regarding the death.
According to Qatari law, its police authorities would not grant permission for a body to be repatriated without the consent of the sponsor. Hence it was not in a position to repatriate Mr. Bandara’s remains to the island till the official documents are handed over to them by the police, states the Sri Lankan Mission in Qatar.
However, since the Police had handed over the documents yesterday (Sept. 28) arrangements are being made by the Mission to fly Mr. bandara’s body home within the week, adds the Embassy.
