(Lanka-e-News-07.April.2013, 11.55PM) hen the Fashion Bug owners were seeking legal redress following the attack launched at its Pepiliyana establishment by the Bodhu Bala Sena(BBS) , the regime chief (the President of SL!) MaRa took the trouble to directly intimidate and threaten the Establishment against going into legal action. This is because , the regime is directly linked to that attack, according to reports reaching Lanka e news.MaRa had threatened the establishment to arrive at a settlement without producing the CCTV footage of the attack because , the CCTV recording produced to the police clearly reveals that among the hoodlums who launched the attack were army intelligence unit officers. After the DIG Anura Senanayake who is in charge of the investigations had informed Gotabaya of this , MaRa had posed the threats and intimidations to Fashion Bug owners.
Moreover , when the calls on the mobile phone of the assailants that were taken into custody by the police were examined , it was discovered that these assailants while attacking the establishment were exchanging calls with the defense Ministry.
It is in order to suppress this direct unlawful involvement of Gotabaya in this attack that MaRa had taken the unlawful initiative and threatened the Fashion Bug owners against revealing the CCTV footage. The exposure of these truths were first made by Lanka e news on 2nd April under the caption ‘ MaRa threatens fashion Bug owners ……’. The Justice Minister Rauf Hakeem subsequently confirmed the truth of our report – on the 4th making a statement to foreign media , he said,
he had spoken to Fashion Bug owners , who had informed that they were threatened to cave in to a settlement . The owners had been frightened that if they go for legal process , they would have to face more complex problems , and therefore they had no option but to yield to a settlement. Rauf Hakeem had also told the foreign media, the entire foundation and edifice of the laws of the country are gravely threatened in the present climate in the country.
