The CID visited the house of a top aide of Presidential Candidate General Sarath Fonseka this morning to arrest him. However he was not at the residence at the time. The CID is accusing Fonseka’s aide of having illegal weapons in his house.

General Sarath Fonseka’s Secretary Dr. Senaka Arnold Haripriya de Silva said that around 20 CID officers had visited his house early this morning.

“Around 1.00 am CID officers came to my mother’s house which is in my name in the hope of arresting me,” De Silva told Daily Mirror online.

The CID again visted his house a short while ago. According to the letter addressed to de Silva from the CID he is to be questioned on the sanctioning of the transportation of illegal weapons.

Although expected to appear for an interview at 9 this morning, De Silva told Daily Mirror Online he had no intention of doing so. “They are trying to arrest me for no reason and for a matter I have no connection to. I’m busy running a campaign and have no time for this,” he said.

Meanwhile the CID claims the weapons found in a Temple recently were transported using a vehicle registered under the name of De Silva. “We wanted to question him in relation to the recently arrested monk. The vehicle carrying weapons used by the monk was registered under De Silva’s name. We visited his homes a number of times in search of De Silva,” the Director of the CID SSP Wijeya Amerasinghe said.

Seems SF dont need your vote cos you are the peole who pretend to act like voting for good and representing bad and eval. These are fact not ads if you wana see some ads contact Wimal Weerawansa and Champika

I just don't know what to say. Next thing is the CID will be sitting in the voting booth to check whom we apply the "X" for and if it is not for the family man, we will be arrested. And to top it all, they will find weapons in our house.

Monday, 25 January 2010 08:57 AM

Very shame

Monday, 25 January 2010 08:59 AM

Do you know Who MR and SF is? are you in this world.

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:22 AM

Don't bother anybody. Wasanthi is a foolish lady.

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:23 AM

see the desperation! I will not be surprised if the CID Gestapo led by an IGP Idi Amin try to arrest SF tonight.We may not see him after the polls!! is Sri Lanka a Democratic country or a Bananna Republic or an anarchy???

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:27 AM

Listen HEN whosoever you are. MR is the epitome of Panic. You should have watched the gentleman lose his cool at the press conference.
But then you are so blind, you will not see.
THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS ONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO SEE..................

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:29 AM

CID what is your job for tommorrow? to chek the ballot paper??

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:38 AM

CID must change the name. can we see any impartial activities in this governtment.... Really fedup.

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:39 AM

Three cheers General. You are a real General facing all this idiocy. May the blessings of the noble triple gems be always with you. Believe in it and also believe in karma. But if some bad thing happens to you it is not your karma but our's.

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:09 AM

Untill now you had LTTE to fight with, but from now you will fight within your self and die..., this is the fate of Srilanka.

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:14 AM

People are not but you are a dam fool

Monday, 25 January 2010 08:33 AM

Hen Ling
It seems to be very easy to be overseas and make judgements. How come you are not in Sri Lanka if you think the government is doing such a great job? Did not Mr Mahinda Rajapakse ask all those who are overseas to come back and help him rebuild the country?
I honeslty don't think you are in a position to make such judgements. At least Mr Sarath Fonseka is still in the country trying to effect change. You don't seem to be around......

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:20 AM

This prove that MR being desperate, and his poor tactics.,
Grow up and acccept defeat.

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:21 AM

Dear CID man there is no need to go to court and search for illegal weapons on assumptions! If u come to East you can see by your bare eyes illegal weapons in the hands of Karuna and pillyan gangs! please arrest them !

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:26 AM

Whether he is runing a campaign or not ,he should be arested if he has aided or abetted for doing something wrong . Why should he be excluded for wrong doing ????

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:31 AM

This puts a bad impression on MR! Violence surely will not help in boosting the voter base but otherwise!

Monday, 25 January 2010 10:44 AM

U seems like a supporter of MR why r you voting for him?? b'cos of the democracy which Dr. Marvin Silva practice Ha ha ha ...............

Monday, 25 January 2010 11:01 AM

Act of desepration by MR. This seems to be sheer harassment Trying to disrupt the campaign of SF even at the last !

Monday, 25 January 2010 11:23 AM

Monday, 25 January 2010 11:58 AM

not only the cid. even the igp lock, stock and berrel is in cahoots with the govt.

Monday, 25 January 2010 01:20 PM

What if the guy is really involved. Let the leagal system follow its course. Both parties are so blind even to the facts because of the political alliance. It will be too late before we realize the cost.

Monday, 25 January 2010 07:46 AM

When will the CID look for Fonseka? It may be tomorrow? Get ready for a situation as in Kenya. The CID has become somebody's Gestapo

Monday, 25 January 2010 07:49 AM

How do you prove that CID, please dont put ads like this and get sympathy. Our vote is with SF. But, when you put like this and treat us like children, how can we vote him.Please stop this, we are with SF. this will take be a negative to SF.

Monday, 25 January 2010 08:29 AM

Who is the fool advising MR? This act alone will lose 50,000 votes for MR.

Monday, 25 January 2010 08:31 AM
