Hacks Aviation website and inserts photo of his own face ... because of desire of becoming pilot!
In order to accomplish a desire that welled up from childhood of becoming a pilot, this suspect having gained access to Aviation Services Authority website, has superimposed his own photograph after removing the photo of a pilot and had even prepared a fake pilot's license and was taken into custody
on those grounds on suspicion. He was released by Fort Magistrate and Additional District Judge Miss Lanka Jayaratna on 2 personal bonds of Rs. 2 lakhs each.
This suspect, Hashan Chathuranga Silva was taken into custody last 16th by the special investigation unit of Colombo for having hacked a website and for distorting its contents. Attorneys-at-Law who appeared on his behalf to ask for bail have spoken and explained matters in court saying that the accused had been addressed as 'captain' by his friends even from schooldays and the reason for that was he has had a desire to become a pilot. The lawyers further pointed out that because of this desire he had gained access to the website of Civil Aviation Authority and having inserted his own photo instead of a photo of a pilot had then sent it to his friends across the Facebook; but that it was so done without any motive of committing a fraud. After this was pointed out, the suspect was granted bail.
