A prominent politico and a white collar bigwig are now using all the tricks in their bags to persuade Police sleuths to go soft on a suspect arrested in connection with a Rs.100 million fraud at an august institution in the country.

And the bigwig is now reportedly carrying out machinations aimed at compelling the probe officials to retract their indictment.
A competitive exam had been held recently to select 100 candidates for recruitment as security assistants of a leading state-owned corporation. And a report says that the question paper set for the exam had been leaked out in advance to the candidates from a Southern district which a certain powerful purohita represents in the council. By the way, the state-owned corporation in question comes under the purview of his Ministry.
Members, purohitas and the white-collar bigwigs of the Diyawanna council normally walk into the premises carrying their personal effects like bags and umbrellas.

A group of purohitas and Diyawanna members in yahapalanaya are said to be up in arms against the ‘unjust practice’ resorted to in dishing out jobs in departments and state-owned undertakings coming under the purview of a certain Ministry.
