Four suspicious characters had visited the Kotte residence of Piyal Ranjith, Chief Photographer of the Rupavahini Corporation News Room, on Thursday evening and begun interrogating him. When Piyal alerted his neighbours the four men had escaped in their three wheeler .
They had first asked Piyal whether he undertakes video photographing and when he replied in the negative they examined his car parked in the premises and noted down the registration number. Later, one of them had put his hand in to his trouser pocket and attempted to enter the house, when Piyal alerted the neighbours
He has lodged a complaint with the Mirihana Police who commenced investigations.
According to some employees of the Rupavahini Corporation, it was Piyal who issued the camera to video the incidents when Labour Minister Mervyn Silva entered the Rupavahini Corporation and created a big problem by assaulting the Director News. Later, the Minister was assaulted by the employees and had to be escorted out by Police and admitted to Hospital.
Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation Employees, Union in a statement issued yesterday, said that death threats to employees of the Corporation had increased in the recent past.
The Union held Labour Minister Mervyn Silva and his thugs responsible for the death threats. The Union cited Thursday s incident at the Chief Camaraman s residence as the latest of these threats. `The lives of employees of a state institution are at threat,` the Union said.
The Union has cited several incidents of threat to Corporation employees after Mervyn Silva s episode and urged the administration to take appropriate action to safeguard the lives of employees.

This Rupavahani staffs have no mercy from the 'Raja' as well as Mervin..
They have no place to complain,because all the minister have the 'Thugs' links..
Sori Lanka become the kingdom of 'wild thugs',
May be this staff will realize,the true nature of the Tamils fight and the unjust caused by the 'Raja'thuggary rule...
If Rajapaksa family rule continuous in SL, half of the Sinhalese turn against the government..
