Former UNP Minister Harin Fernando has given a statement to the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) over an ongoing investigation into a video that was circulated on social media.
Former UNP MP Kavinda Jayawardane had lodged a complaint with the CCD over a video earlier this month.
“Today I visited the CCD and assisted the Police regarding the investigations on the purported video. I made my statement and the truth will come out soon” Harin Fernando tweeted after giving a statement to the CCD.
Harin Fernando also tweeted that he has sent a letter of demand to musician Iraj Weeraratne over the matter.
“In the mean time My lawyers have sent the 1st LOD to Iraj Weeraratne. Once the proposed action is concluded whatever damages I may get will go to a fund to assist the covid victims.” He said in another tweet.
Yesterday, in a letter of demand sent by Weeraratne’s lawyers the musician accused Fernando of making defamatory claims at a recent media briefing.
He also accused Fernando of making false claims with regards to a controversial video circulating on social media.
Meanwhile, Iraj Weeraratne had posted the letter of demand sent to him by Harin Fernando’s lawyers in his social media platforms.
