In this age of free information they should reveal the reason for his arrest in detail. Hope they will bag the CB Governor also.

Only to be released on bail tomorrow? Whatever happened to Shashi Weerawansa?

CITIZEN Friday, 13 March 2015 09:31 AM

Is he not out on bail? He was arrested earlier on another corruption charge and released on bail! Now, why remand? Send him straight to prison!

His parents has given him very meaningful name " Sarana Guna- Wardhana" at birth hoping that son would maintained the theme of it. But he decided to to somethings opposite, harmful to the society he belongs.
