THE TRUE STORY IS DIFFERENT HERE, THIS MAJOR HAS NOTHING TO DO, EXCEPT WITHDRAW THE CASE AS HIS SENIOR OFFICERS ARE RELUCTANT TO SUPPORT HIM AND TOLD THE POLICE THAT THEY NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE MAJOR'S VISIT TO THE HOTEL THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT.
FINALLY MAJOR HAD TO PROTECT HIMSELF AS NO ONE THERE TO HELP HIM, SO HE DECIDED TO WITHDRAW THE CASE. THAT IS THE TRUE PICTURES. PLEASE EVERYONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS. THIS MAJOR HAD LOT OF THINGS TO THE COUNTRY, WITH HIS HELP THE AIR FORCE AND ARMY ABLE TO DESTROY MOST NUMBER OF TARGETS OF THE LTTE. UNTIL 2011 HE SERVED IN THE NORTH AND EAST AND CAME TO COLOMBO TO LEAD THE CONTROL THE DRUG MENACE IN THE COUNTRY.
SO DON'T BLAME HIM, ALTHOUGH HE HAD HIS GUN WITH HIM, AS A PROFESSIONAL SOLDIER, HE NEVER USE GUNS AGAINST CIVILIANS. THAT YOU CALLED BRAVERY. SO THINK ABOUT THAT......
SOLDIER
shame on you all!!
1. Is he a real Major?
2. If so had he forgotten to protect himself?
3. Did he go to the hotel far a shady deal?
4. Who hit him ? or were the reports false?
5. Was he alone or were there no witnesses, The CCTV?
6. What about the report he had made about the assault?
Finally the Army is made up of Soldiers. After the war we were proud of our Army. But today Shame! Shame on you.
For justices sake and the credibility of the Forces. If what was reported of the incident originally was true, The Major? should not be allowed to withdraw in the light of the evidence.
Gone are the days, officers were recruited after a careful selection process looking at the breed.
I am the one who was hammered.
Who hit me ?
Mata mathaka naene bung !
So how can I accuse Malaka or Rehan ?
What about the CCTV footage, Could not any media network get hold of it? So we can see the conclusion of this cheap show.
this news was covered and spread like the plague and many comments predicted this, similar to the guy being tied to the tree because he was associating dengue mosquitoes :)
You are a shame to entire ARMY in sri lanka
NS
Shame on the whole army, common fellows get united .
so conclusion Politics danger than terrorist.....
The CCTV footage was someone practicing for a teledrama notting to do with this case (police will belive this as well )
The good Major, no doubt was not influenced to file the affidavit in true democratic fashion.
But the funny thing is why did the major take such a long time to come out with this.
If army major do not have guts ! that too being under cover agent .. we ordinary people no where !
I'd like to reiterate that the present government has done much good to the country, but these loose elements MUST be done away with.
When people see MaraWin or Maraka, they get angry and they cannot bare their rude actions and also cannot hit them(Kalu galaka oluwa gaha ganna bahane). So, major hit himself.
Here we go, the doctor wins again.
It seems the doctor is the Executive Authority in the country!!!
Now I wonder what Dumi must be thinking in Singapore.
I cant wait for the next episode.
Meka harima miracle ratak! :)
And I am innocent.
nothing is impossible in this "P" world. I mean Political world.
Are we all going to watch this type of abuse once every few months and let them all run over as they wish ?
