CID to question journos at Nishantha’s media brief

Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage yesterday permitted the Criminal Investigations Department to record statements from all the journalists and the media officials of the Podujana Peramuna Party office, who reported the contemptuous statement made by Puttalam District Parliamentarian Sanath Nishantha.

The Magistrate made this order pursuant to a request made by the Criminal Investigations Department.

Accordingly, the Magistrate permitted CID record statements from the reporters of five television channels and the officials of the Podujana Peramuna Party office.

On a previous occasion, President's Counsel Upul Jayasuriya alleged that Parliamentarian Sanath Nishantha had recently made a statement criticising the judicial process.

The Magistrate had earlier issued an order directing a private television channel to handover the unedited video clips to the Criminal Investigations Department pertaining to the statement made by the Minister Sanath Nishantha on August 23.
