Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa's Media Coordinator Rohan Weliwita was summoned to the Homagama Police today on an investigation regarding the disappearance of 3000 video tapes from the Presidential Secretariat.

Weliwita was a Coordinating Secretary to the President when former President Rajapaksa was in power.

Police said that a complaint was received from the Presidential Secretariat on this alleged disappearance of video cassettes.

However, speaking to media in the morning, Weliwita said that he was not involved with the former President's Media Unit.

Furthermore, he did not visit either the Presidential Secretariat or the Temple Trees after January 9, Weliwita pointed out.

He also expressed surprise at the decision to handover the investigations to the Police. It should have been done by the Presidential Secretariat, he said. Weliwita argued that the decision to hand over the investigations to the Police may have been political.
