The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has launched an investigation into the people who made the brass blocks, which Thilini Priyamali used as gold bars to deceive businessmen.

Investigations revealed that Priyamali has shown these fake gold bars to many businessmen and deceived them by assuring money after selling them.

Priyamali had given 10 such brass blocks to her partner Isuru Bandara saying they were gold bars. Eight out of these 10 brass blocks were found at Isuru’s house in Pilimathalawa.

Investigations revealed that Priyamali had given these brass blocks to many businessmen but no complaints have been received from any of them so far.

“If this continues, country will end up like the KDU bus”: Ex-President Ranil warns

Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe reiterated that people with political experience should be appointed as parliamentary representatives in the upcoming General Election.

Joining a press conference held in Colombo, Wickremesinghe further stated that if not, the country will go into another crisis situation.

Responding to a question, the former President also spoke on not seeking to enter the parliament in the coming election.

“Now it is enough that I was in the Parliament. I believe we need to form a new group from within our alliance representing the ‘Gas Cylinder’ because these are the only experienced people in the country.”

Today, the government lacks experienced individuals, he claimed. “These people have been working consistently for the past three or four years, helped me turn this around in two years.”

He further added, “Sri Lanka could be the fastest country to emerge from bankruptcy, but the path forward is uncertain. Without capable leadership, the situation could spiral—just like the KDU bus veered off the road. That’s why I urge everyone to send knowledgeable and experienced individuals to Parliament.”
