Namal Kumara, a former employee of the Presidential Secretariat who first revealed the alleged conspiracy to assassinate President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday linked former Army Commander Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka with the plot. 

Speaking to media yesterday, Namal Kumara said Fonseka, now a minister, was the closest 'Political Friend' of DIG Nalaka Silva who is currently under investigation over the alleged conspiracy. 

"I know it is Sarath Fonseka who is at one end of this conspiracy, " he added. 

"But I don't have evidence to prove that."

Namal Kumara, however, said he had revealed Sarath Fonseka's name to the CID in one of his statements to the investigators. 

"That is why Fonseka is upset and went on to attack me recently. He talked about my credibility and track record" Kumara said.
