CURRENT INVESTIGATION

 

·         History.

Our investigators visited the client given address # 01, Hulfdorf Street, Colombo- 12 and were found that the said premises are now occupied by a concern  named “Airwave Communications”. The inmates there have told our investigator that the subject concern  LANKA FOODS has now been located at a new site (not known to them) and they provided the telephone number of the proprietor Mr. Hassen (+94-777449885).

 

Mr. Hassen who is said to be the proprietor of the concern , when contacted on the given mobile said that his concern  has now been shifted to a new location but declined to provide the address. He said that his main line of business is distribution food items imported from Pakistan and he has stopped imports from India over a year now (no reason given) but declined to give further details without knowing the identity of the end user of this report in-spite of our repeated requests. His view was that concern  details are well known to his “importers and need not be given to un-known people”.

 

The Proprietorship/Partnership Companies are registered at the Provincial Registrar of Companies and as the management declined to provide registration details, it is not possible to trace concern  details at the Registrar’s office.                         

                                                      

·         Location.

 

The Subject Concern  had been located at the client given address # 01, Hulfdorf Street, Colombo- 12, Sri Lanka, which is a highly commercial area where wholesale/retail merchants are operating. It is reported that it has now been located in Colombo 11 area but details not available.

 

When our investigator visited the client given address he could not contact the owner or find any products there as the said premises is presently occupied by a communication concern . Later a person who claimed to be the owner, Mr. Hassen when contacted on his mobile (+94-77-7449885) he declined to provide details, in-spite of our explanations.
