Remember Arabi Wasantha, who was arrested for torching an army bus in Mirihana on March 31st in full view of 100s of soldiers, to justify the emergency declaration? CID on Wednesday asked Gangodawila Magistrate Prasanna Alwis to release him on bail, saying Wasantha honestly (1/3) 
did not know that the bus was "public property" when he set it on fire. The magistrate blasted the CID in chambers and they begged for mercy saying they followed orders from Tiran Alles, DIG Deshabandu Tennakoon and DSG Dileepa Peiris as @GotabayaR wanted Wasantha released (2/3)
at all costs. Today, Tiran Alles and AG Sanjay Rajaratnam have asked Dileepa Peiris to come to the Magistrates Court and ensure that Wasantha is granted bail. This is all the proof we needed that the attack was staged as a pretext for a crackdown on Aragalaya. ඒකත් #fail (3/3)
