The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is protecting former Industry and Commerce Minister, Rishad Bathiudeen by not revealing information with regard to Sathosa vehicles being used for activities of the extremists, National Freedom Front (NFF) leader Wimal Weerawansa alleged today.

Addressing a news briefing, he said the CID was deliberately hiding comprehensive facts in connection with the alleged events of Sathosa and added the CID had the adequate evidence to prove the culpability of the former Minister Bathiudeen.

“The CID has obtained relevant information like GPS reports from the Sathosa and questioned its authorities. Besides, not only CID but also the Defence Ministry has this information,” the MP said.

“We are not satisfied with the investigations carried out by the CID,” he added. He said they had evidence to prove that Sathosa vehicles had been used to promote extremism.

“We have the GPS reports of the vehicles namely; PL-2961, PL-2962, PL-2963 and PL-2882 belonging to the Sathosa were used to transport extremists.

“It was reported that the Sathosa is going to file case against us and demand for a compensation alleging that we have tarnished its image by revealing that Sathosa vehicles were used to transport extremists.

However, MP Weerawansa said they were ready to face any case.We will prove in courts by providing all the evidence as to how Sathosa vehicles were used for extremist activities. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Not the CID. The government is protecting him. People should ask the government to investigate.

Wimal, dont spread rumors, if you have evidence prove in the courts without talking. SL people like to see the truth.

The all knowing zero / zero man. If true Satosa is ahead in technology with GPS enabled vehicles.

Why didn't foul mouthed Wimal not lodge a complaint with CID re> Sathosa vehicles?

Oh Amanawansa has opened his lavatory mouth again.

Dumbass, since when does a GPS report tells, who sat in the car.

Dear Weeraya No wonder he should be prosecuted but through a judicial process. And you will have to prove that he drove or instructed occupants to do so for "extremism" purpose. Now get on with it and not keep telling bedtime stories.

Keep it up Wimal. . . !!

He knows what he is talking, he is an expert on misusing government vehicles.

Shut up you fraud and loser

Now don’t start blaming the CID as there is no any other alternative options to blame Rishard. Truth will always remain and you don’t worry.

@Anmanpan : No need of the vehicle to be equipped with GPS, the passenger's phone through his google account can track the locations and routes he travel.
