The sand placed in the swimming pool at Sri Lanka Labour Party Leader and Businessman A.S.P. Liyanage’s residence in Rajagiriya was removed this morning under the supervision of Colombo Crime Division (CCD) Chief Vijith Gunaratne and the Rajagiriya Police.

Mr. Liyanage had on an earlier occasion complained to the police about reports that gold and cash bags were hidden under sand.

He requested the IGP to investigate whether former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had hidden the gold and cash packed in polythene bags before placing them in the swimming pool. However, no gold or cash bags were found from the pool today.

Maybe the gold was really the sand and wonder what happened to it?

This government has now become the joke of the century

SL-Walah Saturday, 30 January 2016 08:03 AM

Well, this man had wanted to get his pool cleared and got the government to do it at tax payers cost. This case is a typical example how naive and foolish the police and the government could be. They think that Mahida is such a foolish man to have hide wealth in such a manner

A more simpler method would be to use a metal detector

Sharon Saturday, 30 January 2016 09:32 AM

Do not refill it. We may need a grave to bury yahapalana remnants very soon.

kondaya77 Friday, 29 January 2016 11:26 PM

myraspi Friday, 29 January 2016 03:36 PM

This dude wants to get his pool cleared for free.

Labby Saturday, 30 January 2016 12:05 PM

How naive could our people be. If at all there was gold hidden in that pool surely it would have been relocated before it is checked.

Bala Friday, 29 January 2016 04:27 PM

This is a publicity stunt by this MR licker. Why did the police intervene,
