The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) informed Colombo Chief Magistrate Prasanna Alwis that they have launched an investigation into a complaint by a popular actress.
The actress alleged that her ex-boyfriend, currently residing abroad, blackmailed her by threatening to publish nude photos online unless she transferred money to him.
The CID stated that the actress and her boyfriend were in a relationship for about four years, and after her rise to fame, she ended the relationship.
The ex-boyfriend retaliated by threatening to publish nude photos, prompting the actress to transfer money to prevent the act.
The CID requested permission to obtain reports on the relevant bank accounts, and the Magistrate granted the request, instructing the CID to complete the investigation and report its findings to the Court.
