Addressing the media at his Pita Kotte office, Attorney-at-Law Gammanpila explained two occasions on which the CID had resorted to what he described as such dirty tactics.

The former Minister identified two ex-LTTE cadres who had been involved in the CID projects as Vijayakanthan and Selvathambi Mahendran, alias Bharathi.

Gammanpila also disclosed the identities of a police officer, as well as a Navy officer, who had sought political asylum in different countries.
