evidence: The claim that Saliya Peiris stated that "Kanchipani" and "Harak Kataa" are not connected to the murder of "Club Wasantha" is false. No such statement was made by him, and both mainstream media and A5 News have no record of such a claim. Saliya Peiris himself has denied the allegation. His involvement with Harak Kataa was limited to ensuring safety measures during a legal process and unrelated to any criminal defence.
