Popular singer K.Sujeewa has complained to the Computer Crime Investigation Unit and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) regarding a video circulating on social media these days.

On the night of December 31st, an argument had arisen between K.Sujeewa and another party following a vehicle accident.

Someone who videotaped the argument had released it on social media.

In the video, allegations were levelled against Sujeewa of consuming alcohol.

However, Sujeewa said she had never consumed alcohol. “If I was drunk, the police would have arrested me. All these allegations are being made against me out of jealousy. They may not like the fact that I raise my two kids all by myself,” she said.

She said the posted video has been edited. “When I was being videotaped, I told the police officer present that I am a famous person and I don’t know what they will do after videotaping me. Instead of my entire line, they have only posted the part where I say “I’m famous”. Even the police didn’t help me at that time,” she said.

She said she was on her way to a musical show but got late by about an hour due to the incident.

Writers in deal to end Hollywood strike

Screenwriters in the US say they have reached a tentative deal with studio bosses that could see them end a strike that has lasted nearly five months.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) said it was “exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers”. WGA members must still have a final say.

It is the longest strike to affect Hollywood in decades and has halted most film and TV production.

A separate dispute involves actors, who are also on strike.

The writers’ walkout, which began on 2 May, has cost the California economy billions of dollars.

The WGA leadership and union members need to agree a three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers before they return to work.

The guild’s message on the proposed deal said details still had to be finalised, and it was not yet calling off the strike, but “we are, as of today, suspending WGA picketing”.
