Vajira Neththikumara against media

Salaka gambling spot, underground stories .... all false
Vajira Neththikumara files action against media

After Salaka gambling premises came under the long arm of the law which created an uproar recently, the proprietor of Salaka Holdings, Vajira Neththikumara forwarded a motion after which she was released on bail last week by Fort Magistrate.

She is now prepared to take steps on a legal measure by appealing against the media who published information regarding rumours coined about her during the time legal operations are proceeding.

Attorney-at Law, Mr. Nimal Rajapaksha has sent a letter of demand amounting 200 million against a leading newspaper on behalf of his client, it is learnt. The Attorney-at-Law points out that the newspaper concerned had published an article to the effect that Vajira Neththikumara directs gambling centres, is connected to underground and prostitution business activities; that she is connected to murders pertaining to the underworld and that she has even murdered her own husband Lakshman Neththikumara as a consequence of a conspiracy.

Her Attorney-at-Law pointed out that as a result of that article which was published in a malicious manner, his client's name had been subjected to defamation and that she was a social-worker as well as a business-woman and had on that basis demanded Rs. 200 million be paid as charges.
