A new counsel representing Aloysius, Anuja Premarathne PC sought the commissions permission to take the SIM card in order to get another sim with the same number. However, the Attorney Generals department led by Deputy Solicitor General Yasantha Kodagoda objected. Kodagoda said that they could release all the devices within Two days if Aloysius coorperated and gave the passwords. He further said that if Aloysius doesn’t corporate they would use whatever means to crack the passwords and get to the device.
Earlier Aloysius told the commission that the most crucial device, the phone he used during the bondscam had been destroyed in Singapore.
Giving evidence at the commission today former EPF Chief Ananda Jayalath said that Arjun Mahendran insisted that Saman Kumara be put in the dealing room instead of the risk management unit.

Jayalath said that he was informed of the questionable nature of Kumara’s character and refused to put him to the front office. The day after Kumara was transferred to the EPF, Mahendran had called and threatened Jayalath. Mahendran had insisted that Kumara be put in charge of the dealing room. Kumara thereafter had a free hand with buying shares.
