Sirasa, be very careful, you may be charged by the court for videoing illegally. Also for stoning the attackers(heros) from inside.

Hope the court will study the tape and give an impartial verdict so that the Police lethargy will be exposed and stopped once and for all.

'Sirasa' should retain the original and handover a copy to the police, via court, as the politicized police might interpret the case on the lines of the Rupavahini incident.

What tapes ??. We thought this country is allergic to tapes that tell the truth. BTW. If it is an inside job as claimed by some, will there be any tapes in the first place ??.

What is the use of handing over to the same police department as they will somehow manoeuvre the inquiry and suppress the truth.

Friday, 26 March 2010 06:00 AM

Hogwash. The Police already arrested the culprits and allowed them to go scot free on poilce bail. The only thing Police will do with the tapes would be to doctor them to show Sirasa employees themselves carried out the attack.

Sirasa should give close up shots of the Police Jeep that was parked nearby so that the lethargic and politicised Police will be identified and punished. The credibility of the IGP and the entire Police Department depends on the action that will be taken.

Eralier attacks were not investigatd or stop investigating by th same police department. So can anybody believe the same police department will investigate this incident? Ha ha what a funny situation.

If police department and IGP are realy genuine they should not have the suspects released. Here 1st thing police did was release the suspects and get a well done job certificate from the government.

What do they mean 'arrest the suspects involved' ?
Weren't the suspects arrested and already released?

Hope the Police will NOT modify the tape to suit their requirements and submit to the courts. Give a copy to His Lordship also.

Never part with the original video. They cannot be trusted anymore because there is an unseen hand behind all this conspiracy.
