CID questions Tissa over ‘forged’ signatures

December 30, 2014   02:32 pm

Based on Opposition Leader Ranil Wickramasinghe’s request to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to investigate the forging of his signature in an agreement, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today recorded a statement from Health Minister Tissa Attanayake.

Police spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said that CID officers questioned and recorded a statement from the Minister this morning.

The former UNP General Secretary, who recently crossed over to the government, at a press conference last week released a document to the media which he claimed was a secret agreement signed between Common Candidate Maithripala Sirisena and the UNP Leader.  

The following day, Wickramasinghe requested an investigation into the agreement from the IGP. He alleged that both his and Sirisena’s signatures have been forged.
