Why are the investigators revealing such information to the public while investigations are on going? CID boss Shani has not yet learnt his lesson after the leaked audio recordings of Ranjan Ramanayake. or else these are purely politically motivated news articles to please or even deceive the cardinal and the public. If prisnors knew information which Shani Pujith and def sec didn't know it clearly shows what a disaster this country is.

I was invited for a Temple Trees Party organized by Mahinda for the Potuwa Henchmen and he gave away One bottle of Gal Arrack Rs. 2000/- 5 Star Hotel Buriyani and a Blue T/Shirt with Mahinda's Logo. Then I heard Mahinda asking Pilleyan whether the operation is organized as planned. Pilleyan told Sava Sava Sir... means Everything is OK.
