What grilling? CID would have listened to his bullshit patriotic lectures based on Buddhism. Please tell what was discussed.

Patriot Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:09 PM

All lies he will never get grilled as his axis partner in every crime RW will protect him

Suren Sarathkumara Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:13 PM

How do we know if this is true?

Bandu Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:22 PM

So gave him nearly three weeks to fashion his statement to make him not guilty. Great work by CID while Police arrested 2000 for other acts.

A drama...CID visited to the residence..

Andrew Silva Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:43 PM

CID grills. Will they ever ask about the stolen money or about the poles and iron bars. Ofcause no they will worship him and give him armed protection.

Mano Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:45 PM

He will not say the truth, he is a corrupt liar.

What is the use of grilling ? Arrest him and put him in the prison , when Ranil come to power he do the grilling very nicely

Angelo Thursday, 26 May 2022 03:39 PM

Bottom line - what action taken against him?

Bandu Friday, 27 May 2022 06:02 AM

CID is a useless organisation. How many corrupt politicians have they convicted. Need a new organisation with competent staff with more power to look at finances

One tough swine Friday, 27 May 2022 06:56 AM

No amount of grilling is enough for this tough razorback to soften him, But the the CID is doing it without gas in the lipa!!!!

Tough Chicken Friday, 27 May 2022 07:04 AM

CID will get this same old answer every time:"Mama dekke nehe, mata ahune nehe, mama danne nehe"! You cannot ever roast a tough chicken!!
