Police probing the abduction and subsequent release of journalist Krishni Ifham have not made any headway so far, police spokesman, SSP Ranjith Gunasekera said yesterday.
"We have not been able to unearth any clues on who was behind the kidnapping of this Inter News journalist", he said. "Investigations are continuing". Krishni was bundled into a white van last week at Wattala and driven to a location off Kandy, where she was questioned by her three abductors for 45 minutes. Later, the badly shaken journalist, a mother of two children, was dropped off at the Kandy town and asked to find her way home. (SF)
