@NewsWireLK "Several injuries to the body". Cuts on arm and leg... But of course it's suicide.
Why do they even bother.
English

The death of the Assistant Director of the Ministry of Finance’s Department of External Resources, who had been interdicted over the alleged misappropriation of USD 2.5 million Treasury funds, has been ruled a suicide.
Sri Lanka Police said a panel of Judicial Medical Consultants appointed to conduct the post-mortem examination concluded that all injuries were self-inflicted and that the cause of death was suicide.
The official, identified as Ranga Rajapaksa, was found dead at his residence in Kuliyapitiya on Friday (30).
According to police, the body was found in the garden of the residence after his daughter noticed him lying there and alerted other family members.
Police officers who arrived at the scene observed bloodstains nearby. Authorities also reported several injuries on the body, including cuts to one leg and an injury to an arm. A small knife had also been recovered nearby.
Investigations were initially launched into the incident as a suspicious death to determine whether it resulted from homicide, suicide, or an accident.
The Kuliyapitiya Magistrate visited the scene and conducted a magisterial inquiry on Friday. The body was later transferred to the Kuliyapitiya Teaching Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Subsequently a four-member panel of Judicial Medical Consultants was appointed to conduct the post-mortem examination of the official, who had been under interdiction over allegations related to the misappropriation of Treasury funds. (Newswire)

We completed the investigation at Minab school, so Donald Trump doesn't have to.
Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too.
This can only be described as evil crimes against children and humanity.

@SoooMD @NewsWireLK @munza14 Benjamin Netanyahu transferred $ 1.4 billion to Hamas over the course of several years, with Israeli government approval.
Free Palestine from whom? From the western Zionist colonisers.
Aren't we lucky to live in an age where academics' narratives are not the final word.
English

What we see in Gaza is not pleasant. It is catastrophic.
I hope these people on the flotillas call for Hamas to surrender.
Not 50% or 80% but 100 %
Hamas as a political and military entity, a governing entity cannot be allowed.
You can’t stop a fire 50% or 80%.
It will always come back.
That is the dilemma for Israel.
If the world had called out Hamas, to surrender, called for the release of the hostages we wouldn’t be in this position.
Even western governments including the US have failed. Funding has sustained Hamas.
Please call for Hamas to surrender and give up any aspirations of governance.
Hamas -is nothing but a terrorist organization that embedded itself with the civilian population, building 450 miles of terror tunnels underground, creating hell on earth for its people.
Free Palestine is a great slogan. But misses a vital part - from whom?

Representing Sri Lanka, Sameera Mehboobdeen has departed the country to join the Global Sumud Flotilla – Spring Mission for Gaza 2026, an international effort aimed at breaking the siege in Gaza.
The flotilla, which first set sail last year, brings together thousands of activists from nearly 100 countries.
Its mission is to deliver essential food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip, defying the blockade imposed by Israeli forces.
Mehboobdeen’s participation was highlighted at a media briefing held on Monday (20) at the Embassy of Palestine in Sri Lanka, organized by the Free Palestine Organization.
The event expressed solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and support for Mehboobdeen’s courageous journey, with a candle lighting ceremony.
The Global Sumud Flotilla is seen as a symbol of international solidarity, with volunteers risking their safety to challenge restrictions and deliver aid.
“We wish victory for the struggle for a Free Palestine and pray for strength, courage, and the safe return of Sister Sameera Mehboobdeen,” Government MP Najith Indika said, participating in the event. (Newswire)

@Thisal92 @danukalive If the forensic accountant's claim is true, that management stonewalled so she approached a journalist, then ppl other than those named might be involved...

@danukalive How an external auditor( EY) could issue an fair opinion on accounts without scrutinizing such balances. & , the finance / internal audit teams bear responsibility in this matter. Based on these, i think certain top management officials and 3rd parties connected to this 2/2

NDB Fraud – The bank has estimated the value of the fraud at approximately LKR 13.2 billion. It has stated that the bank is reporting a loss of LKR 4.0 billion for JAN–MAR 2026 after making provisions based on the maximum estimated exposure. According to the bank, the fraud represents 0.7% of its LKR 990 billion asset base as at MAR 2026.
To put this into perspective, the size of this fraud exceeds the last financial year’s total profit of LKR 11 billion (bank) and LKR 11.95 billion (group).
As per the Presidential Commission to Probe the Central Bank Bond Scam, Arjuna Mahendran was held directly responsible for causing a loss of LKR 11.14 billion. Considering the time value of money and the broader economic impact, it remains the biggest fraud. However, the NDB fraud can be classified as the largest in nominal monetary terms.
If a bank does not have sufficient mechanisms to detect errors or fraud before reaching this magnitude, it clearly indicates poor—indeed failed—internal controls. Not only must the fraudsters be held fully accountable and punished in accordance with the law, but the internal audit function must also be held responsible. An EGM should be called immediately, and the board of directors should resign and be reappointed by the shareholders.
