A prison guard had been arrested on charges of collecting ransom pretending to be a CID officer, the Police said.

The Police said the suspect had phoned a man, who was resident at Kirillawa in Kadawatha, and said that an investigation had been launched by the CID into selling of a three-wheeler, a transaction that took place five years ago.

According to the Police the suspect had told that the CID had found out that the documents belonging to the vehicle were forged and demanded Rs. 25, 000 to be deposited to a bank account to stop the investigations.

The Police said the man had made the payment, however lodged a complaint with the Kadawatha Police, when the suspect had demanded more money afterwards.

Police on Saturday arrested the suspect following investigations and the suspect was identified as a prison guard, a resident of Moronthota.

This country needs a through clean up; it looks that all our politicians past and present have not been able even get a glimpse of it. Surely nobody is interested.

The BIG ones are not being arrested and/or prosecuted. He has not hesitated in asking for bribe, because he knows that he too would be freed in due course !!
