Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 As I said, the CID has investigated and there is a case in court with charges filed and accused named. On the face of it, it appears there has been political dealing or connection with those accused. If the investigation is not carried out properly, we will ensure it is. It is the courts that punish offenders; we are not going to physically grab anyone. The courts will punish the guilty.
