The Ministry of Public Security stated that the investigations carried out into the Easter Sunday terror attacks of 21 April 2019 are continuing based on all the facts including the recent revelations regarding the same.

When contacted by The Daily Morning, Public Security Ministry Secretary, retired Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) Ravi Senevirathne said: "The investigations into the Easter Sunday terror attacks had already commenced, and they are continuing. The recent revelations made regarding the terror attacks are also being looked into."

On 21 April 2019, Easter Sunday, three churches (St. Sebastian’s Church in Katuwapitiya, St. Anthony’s Church in Kochchikade, and Zion Church in Batticaloa) and three luxury hotels in Colombo (Cinnamon Grand Colombo, The Kingsbury Colombo, and Shangri-La Colombo) were targeted in a series of co-ordinated suicide bombings. Later that day, another two bomb explosions took place at a house in Dematagoda and the Tropical Inn Lodge in Dehiwala. More than 270 people excluding the bombers were killed in and due to the bombings. The Catholic Church, which represents the majority of victims and their families, has since accused the Governments led by former Presidents Maithripala Sirisena, Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Ranil Wickremesinghe of not having carried out impartial and independent investigations into the matter and brought the culprits to justice.

Media Spokesperson for the Church, Rev. Fr. Cyril Gamini Fernando recently called on the NPP Government, led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, to restart investigations into the terror attacks. He claimed that previous investigations were halted under former President Rajapaksa's Government, and urged the new administration to focus on holding negligent individuals accountable, and uncovering the truth behind the attack. He noted that revealing the truth is more important than issuing punishments.
