(Lanka-e-News-16.June.2013, 7.30PM) SI Bamunusinghe in his confession to the CID had stated , he was at the Galadari hotel as a security personnel of Vaas when DIG Vaas Gunawardena who is now in remand custody in connection with a series of extortions , abductions and murders , and currently warded at General hospital had introduced underworld criminal leader Kotte Nishantha alias Chekku as his bosom pal to SP C .E  .Wedisinghe .

SP Wedisinghe to whom Chakku was introduced is an owner of a brothel under the name of Beach Resort at Wadduwa which is being run in an ancient house .Apart from the fees charged for supplying harlots , an additional fee of Rs. 1000/- per room is levied. Though the residents have lodged complaints with the police, and SP Roshan Fernando of Kalutara division had been assigned the task of investigating this, he is ignoring it because Roshan Fernando is submissive to the affluence of Wedisinghe.

Bamunusinghe had in his confession stated the above and added , as an SI he has drinks with Wedisinghe often.

SS P Wedisinghe has been aware of the murders , yet he had suppressed them , which is a serious offence . However no legal action had been taken against him. Though there had been four complaints lodged with the police special investigation unit , against Wedisinghe’s extortions and corruption , due to the pressures exerted by Vaas Gunawardena these complaints have been put aside .

Via the recordings of three main conversations wherein DIG Vaas , Wedisinghe and Bamunusinghe had discussed their extortions , abductions and murders, those had been confirmed. Moreover , Just within two months , Wedisinghe had collected Rs. 50 lakhs through extortions, it had come to light. Yet he had still not been taken into custody.
