Actress Anusha Damayanthi today lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over an insult aimed at her on a social media platform.
After lodging the complaint, she told media that she had decided to raise it with the law enforcement authorities as she could not bear the recurrent mudslinging campaign carried out through social media against her.
"I am being slandered on Facebook. I think it must have been because I fought hard for the Rajapaksa camp. There is mudslinging campaign carried out against me involving Minister Sarath Weerasekera as well. I was insulted claiming that I was engaged in an inappropriate business. It also claimed that I contacted Minister Weerasekara after the Walana Anti-corruption squad raided my house. I can’t believe who is indulged in all this mudslinging. I came here because I wanted to take action against the perpetrators,” she said.
She said women being harassed through social media was an offence that is similar to sexual harassment.(DSB)
