Letter on presidential election survey false: Police

By Sheain Fernandopulle  

The letter circulating on social media, which is alleged to have been issued by the State Intelligence Services addressed to the President about a survey carried out by intelligence service on the presidential election, is false, the Police said yesterday. 

They said neither the State Intelligence Service nor institutions of police had carried out any survey on the presidential election and that they had not been engaged in any sort of political activity as stated in the letter. 

 
Police said the CID would conduct an investigation against those who were involved in posting a fake letter of this nature on social media.   
They said their prime duty was to make sure the election was held in a fair and peaceful manner and for that, they would do their best.
