Bandula accuses CID of not investigating his complaint impartially

Claiming that the CID had failed to record a statement from the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) official who made allegations against him over garlic scam, Trade Minister Bandula Gunawardane today requested Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena to order the IGP and the CID to conduct an impartial investigation into his complaint.

The Minister told parliament that there was a political conspiracy behind the garlic scam and that the CID had failed to record a statement from the CAA official who made allegations against him over the said scam.
