Southern Provincial Council Minister D.V. Upul filed a defamation suit yesterday against Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake in the Colombo District Court claiming Rs. 500 million as damages.

The minister, in his plaint, has claimed that Mr. Ramanayake had defamed him during a media briefing held on February 16, 2016 by accusing him of fraudulently withdrawing a sum of Rs. 76 million from Lankaputhra Bank.

The plaintiff claims the remarks had besmirched his reputation. (Shehan Chamika Silva)
