An investigation is underway to identify individuals responsible for posting defamatory content on social media regarding the death of State Minister Sanath Nishantha.
Speaking anonymously to the morning, a ruling party MP alleged that social media accounts and bots linked to a political party were involved in the dissemination of such content.
The MP revealed that several Government MPs have called for authorities to take action against those who have been ridiculing and mocking the late State Minister by sharing images of his deceased body.
