The Colombo Crime Division sources say that the person who credited Rs. five million to the account of Ruthindu Senaratne alias Ratta has failed to appear before the CCD on two occasions to record a statement.
The amount was credited to Rathindu Senaratne’s Sampath Bank account in Ja-Ela from an account at the Nations Trust Bank.
On inquiry, the person who credited this amount to the bank has reportedly said that his intention was to credit a sum of Rs five million to the account of one of his female friends, but it had been accidentally credited to Rathindu Senaratne’s account.
The investigators have said that this statement is wishy-washy since the bank obtains all the information about the person crediting the money and the recipient when such a large sum of money is deposited.
Rathindu Senaratne, who made a statement through his Facebook account, said that the amount of Rs. five million credited to his account is not his, and he lodged a complaint with the bank concerned in this regard.
Rathindu Senaratne has also given a statement to the Colombo Crimes Division following this alleged transaction.
The CCD says that the phone of the person who credited the money has gone unanswered for two days, and if he continues to evade phone calls, action will be taken.
