Businessman accused of paying dividends to Dulanjalee in fake notes
March 26, 2014 12:28 pm
Sources have revealed that a garment businessman
named Rolick Augustus Krishantha Perera had allegedly given the forged Rs.5000
notes worth Rs.2 million to UNP MP Sajith Premadasa’s sister Dulanjalee
Premadasa.
Apart from the Rs. 2 million which
Dulanjalee attempted to deposit at a private bank in Colombo 7, police found
471 Rs.5000 notes at his house as well as the machine used to forge the
currency.
Dulanjalee and her husband had
invested in Perera’s garment
business and were given this sum of money as the returns on their investment.
The businessman in question had
maintained a close relationship with the couple.
Although the bank staff stated that MP’s sister had acted in an
aggressive manner when she was informed that the money had been forged, no
information regarding her involvement in this forgery racket has been uncovered
yet, police stated.
