Three persons including a female beautician have been arrested by the Colombo Crimes Division for threatening an auditor of the Motor Traffic Department following a complaint by the Auditor General.

Police said an investigation was initiated after  several persons had come to the residence of an auditor working in the Motor Traffic  Commissioner's Office in the North West Province and had threatened his life.

It has been revealed that this officer had been threatened by phone and by unknown persons who came to his home due to the irregularities detected in the audit work conducted by the Motor Traffic Commissioner's office.

Accordingly, two suspects were arrested in Wariyapola area and a female suspect who is a 26-year-old beautician and a resident of Kolonna, was arrested in Wellawatta for obstructing the duty of a government employee.

The arrested male suspects aged 33 and 38-years-old were identified as businessmen residing in Wariyapola.

    May be these guys are related to some politician or they themselves may be the politicians in some local council.

    Who said women's rights are trampled in Sri Lanka? 2022 is the year of proud exposure for women, with a illicit immigrant holding minister post, in spite of being exposed; then we have the cash till PIn Kettae gulping billions; we have the Kris Corporation CEO and so many other women to be proud of! Even the Banda family members cannot be compared to these new damsels! What a way to go!

    Auditors are unsung heroes. Sunday, 20 November 2022 07:18 AM

    Govt. Auditors are unsung heroes in civil dress protecting nation's assets, . They do not wear uniforms to show their manliness. Everyone of them is qualified, experienced men and women. The should be given give protection by the state. May be you don't know, that an auditor was attacked with acid thrown on his face, for exposing illegal travelling claims in the education department. They are not rewarded for detecting a fraud. Naturally they are not appreciated by dishonest persons, but you too?

    Whenever there is No LAW and Order or educated parliament, cannot expect anything other than such dramas!! Another drama - no police - no court of law - no educated list of Pin Bath MPs Ministers without any legal case as they are always innocent - nothing will happen to Myna until he dies - Gon GoRa? Pada NaRa? Kaputa? all are saved by an unknown reversed GOD came from nothing but from a dead tree!
