A businessman had called a press conference at a leading hotel in Colombo to make a startling announcement. He revealed that their daughter had been forcibly taken away by the son of a powerful politician.

Gamini Ranasinghe, a businessman from Kirulapona,and his wife Indira complained that the politician’s son had arrived in a vehicle belonging to the ministry which his father was attached to and forcibly took away their daughter. They said that although they had complained about the matter to the Cinnamon Gardens Police and the National Child Protection and Probation Authority all their efforts had been in vain.

They said their daughter was still being held by the son of this politician. They said it had caused them great mental distress.
