Prof. Ashu Marasinghe, former advisor to President Ranil Wickremesinghe has sent a letter of demand claiming Rs.500 million and one billion rupees as damages from former Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra and Adarsha Karandana respectively for allegedly making a defamatory statement regarding him during a press conference held on December 23.

This letter of demand has been sent through Attorney-at-law Malin Rajapaksa urging both Hirunika and Adarsha to pay a sum of Rs.1.5 billion as damages within 14 days. It has warned that legal action will be instituted if the money is not paid within two weeks.

A video recording of Prof. Ashu Marasinghe allegedly showing him sexually abusing a dog had gone viral after it was released by SJB former Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra to the media. 

Attorney-at-law Malin Rajapaksa said he was instructed by his client that statements made to the media were absolutely false and was a distortion of the truth.(Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

    First let him prove that the video was doctored and then demand damages. One can not put the horse before the cart.

    This is the common tactics of politicians. This Billion rupee demand doesn't make him innocent.

    Lion Friday, 30 December 2022 01:42 PM

    Bullshit ,we have seen these dramas in this wonderland very often

    Farieze Friday, 30 December 2022 02:03 PM

    Ashu marasinghe should pay to the dog and adarsha.

    Dana Friday, 30 December 2022 02:05 PM

    Let's wait and see whether these letters will end up in lawsuits.

    You stupid, this is not enough, should be much more

    Tissa Fernando Friday, 30 December 2022 02:14 PM

    Disgusting human being.

    Sri Friday, 30 December 2022 02:24 PM

    You must be joking ...or are you trying to use your political influence to get this amount....if your former girl friend has got this photo and if she has released it ...it is your personal problem between you and your former girl friend...it looks like that you have failed to resolve your personal problem and it has exploded now ...I don't think you could claim any compensation if these pictures are true...we may need to send it to some forensic science laboratory to find the true nature of this photo...then you may have a chance ...to make some gains but I don't know what law says about it now

    Sam Friday, 30 December 2022 03:00 PM

    Aiyo Sri Lanka what happened to the beautiful Country.

    Premalal Perera Friday, 30 December 2022 03:14 PM

    Why did he suddenly resign in a panic? Explain that please.

    Che Friday, 30 December 2022 06:57 PM

    By law he is innocent; unless proven guilty

    Sam Silva Friday, 30 December 2022 06:59 PM

    Now a days people deal with billions in our bankrupt country. Amazing.

    Ben Friday, 30 December 2022 07:44 PM

    Good, let it expose in courts,that will double the shame,

    Tissa Fernando Friday, 30 December 2022 07:59 PM

    Very good, this time Hirunika should learn a lesson . She is the woman with most ugliest mouth in Sri Lanka. Again, the Professor should prove that tge video is false through expert forensic investigation. If proven, then that us it.

    Acl Ben Friday, 30 December 2022 08:10 PM

    Prof. Ashu Marasinghe was my senior at University of Colombo science faculty. He was very kind

    VJ Friday, 30 December 2022 08:33 PM

    This man’s brain is located not in his head, but between his legs.
