Popular model and actress Piumi Hansamali was questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for approximately two hours yesterday (21). Police sources indicate that the investigation stems from a photograph discovered on the mobile phone of an individual identified as Kehelbaddara Padme. The photograph reportedly shows Padme alongside Piumi Hansamali and several other well-known actresses.
Police have further confirmed that Padme’s phone also contained several telephone conversations with Piumi Hansamali. Plans are underway to summon the other actresses linked to the photograph for questioning by the CID in the coming days. Law enforcement agencies in the country are currently focused on determining whether any financial transactions occurred between Kehelbaddara Padme and Piumi Hansamali. When questioned about the matter during a cabinet decision briefing, the Police Media Spokesperson stated that an official report would be provided in due course.
Meanwhile, Piumi Hansamali addressed the incident on her official Facebook account, stating that she met Kehelbaddara Padme in Dubai about four years ago, and that he was accompanied by his wife and children when the photograph was taken. She vehemently denied any financial dealings with Kehelbaddara Padme, asserting that she does not need anyone’s illegal “black money.”
