The Hon. Sanjeewa Ranasingha
Hon. Sanjeewa Ranasingha denied allegations concerning an incident at the Welipenna Police, stating that he intervened only to oppose an illegal act by an officer and to seek justice for an individual. He said the Opposition and media reports had misrepresented the matter, and rejected the claim that he attempted to secure the release of an illicit brewer.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees, the allegation regarding the Welipenna Police is false. I raised my voice against an illegal act by an officer in securing justice for a person; the Opposition is twisting it. The public knows how those news reports came. I categorically deny attempting to free an illicit brewer.
