It has also been revealed that the owner of this financial institution is a person who has collected a large amount of money stating that he will give more interest and is currently committing fraud. About a week ago, this person was abducted by a group of people who had deposited money in the said financial institution and rescued while riding a three-wheeler and handed over to the Dematagoda Police Station by a group of officers of the Police Special Task Force.
It is said that when the monk asked for money, he did not give money but instead gave a check. Later, he said that he will give property to the monk as a guarantee until the check is cashed.
