Speaking to the media, Ekanayake said the police had arrested three suspects in connection to the incident among them one was Mohammad Rizwan.

    This means UNP members are openly creating spreading fake news? You are trying to create a negative sentiment about Gota because you know ur Ranil has no way of facing him in an election.

    Have the CID and Dept. of Inland Revenue ever probed Mohammed Najmi? If so, what are their findings? Should be published as matters of public interest.

    Why wasn't a complaint lodged when Gota was linked to the white van?

    Gotabhaya has enough reputation for other things, Why add more?
