If the AG had instructed the IGP to arrest Johnston why is he asked to simply call over at the CID to make a statement? Any reason why he isn't arrested?

We need to apply a Cry filter to his portraits to cut the permanent grin on his face. Even at a funeral, he will have his grin.

Justice Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:37 AM

Please take him straight to Welikada and throw the keys away.

Is CID blind or deaf?.

Hubert Congreve Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:45 AM

Trust CID will hold a very deep investigation against this main suspect Jonny and arrange his jail term soon.

joshua Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:45 AM

There is nothing to investigate. Put him behind bars. It was very evident this fellow was No 1 reason to instigate the people

Kamal Bolawansa Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:45 AM

Ranil will save him for sure, like he saved Weerawansa.

Jamis Bonda Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:46 AM

He should be sent to gallows not to Jail.

Prof. R. Veerasingham Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:48 AM

Never allow him to escape, his passport should be confesticated and justice should be established sending him behind bars.

Nilanka Tuesday, 24 May 2022 11:56 AM

I will not waste words to describe this kind human garbage

Adwani Tuesday, 24 May 2022 12:05 PM

To arrest and produce or just to record statement only?????

Lawless Tuesday, 24 May 2022 12:17 PM

Complete breakdown in Law and order.

Sokrates Tuesday, 24 May 2022 12:17 PM

Next to the Rajapaksa Mafia family, the largest political crook in Sri Lanka.

Banda Tuesday, 24 May 2022 12:21 PM

The guy is solely responsible for the destruction our country faced.

Pantha Kumaran Tuesday, 24 May 2022 12:49 PM

NightOwl Tuesday, 24 May 2022 01:14 PM

One country one Low.. the guy with an arrest warrant walking into police to record a statement and leave..

Panduka Dasanayake Wednesday, 25 May 2022 01:32 AM

Citizens’ arrests?

M Fernando Wednesday, 25 May 2022 06:01 AM

Why he is not under arrest? There is an open warrant. Another reason why the people want all 225 GONE.. Law does not apply to them
