Attorney-at-Law Aruna Laksiri has lodged a formal complaint with the Colombo Fraud Investigation Bureau alleging the fraudulent online release of falsified documents bearing what purports to be an official Speaker's certificate. The complaint targets the Government Printer and the Secretary to the Ministry of Media, seeking legal action over the circulation of the allegedly forged materials.
The complaint marks an escalation in scrutiny of document authentication procedures within government institutions responsible for official publications. The Government Printer and the Media Ministry Secretary are accused of involvement in the distribution of the fraudulent documents through online channels.
The Colombo Fraud Investigation Bureau has received the complaint and is expected to examine the allegations. The matter underscores growing concerns about the verification and validation of official government documents released through digital platforms, particularly those bearing certificates from constitutional office holders.
