Southern Province Minister D. V. Upul is currently giving a statement to the CID over his controversial comments on the police Financial Crimes Investigations Division.

At a recent meeting in Hambantota, Upul threatened that he is waiting for the return of Mahinda Rajapaksa as Prime Minister so that he could watch the police officers of the Financial Crimes Investigations Division being stoned to death.

On June 4, Colombo Magistrate Court prohibited Southern Provincial Councillor D.V. Upul from travelling overseas, following a request by the CID.
