Extortion is usually carried out by illegal organized and unorganized criminal gangs and members, such as members of the underworld. Although such incidents are not often heard in our country, they are extorted in different ways by different politicians. Extortion takes place in different ways, for different contracts, for different jobs, and so on.
But the shame of the politicians in Sri Lanka has been severed and they do not want a future in Sri Lanka.
The discovery of such a politician today took place in Sri Lanka. Colombo High Court Judge Manjula Tilakaratne this afternoon sentenced Minister Prasanna Ranatunga to two years imprisonment with hard labor for allegedly extorting Rs. 64 million from a businessman. In addition to the order, the judge also ordered the plaintiff to pay one million rupees in damages.
According to the case, the ransom was demanded to evict the unauthorized occupants of a land in the Meethotamulla area in Kolonnawa between April 6 and June 2, 2015 and to fill in the gaps. . Its complainant, a businessman named Gerard Mendis, has been threatened and demanded Rs. 64 million. He was the Chief Minister of the Western Province at that time.
This Minister is now a Cabinet Minister. They have destroyed Sri Lanka and dragged the people to the streets. That is the relief they have given to the people of this country and this reveals their frauds and corruption.
