Colombo (LNW): The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has reportedly launched a probe into the assets of Viranjith Thambugala, owner of ‘Aura Lanka Herbals’, and a self-proclaimed holistic medical practitioner, investor, entrepreneur, a philanthropist and an internet personality.
The probe has been launched by the Illicit Asset Investigation Division of the CID on the orders of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
Thambugala was recently driven into controversy followed by a storm of social media allegations involving an aloe vera plantation project, claiming that he was engaging in illegal activities through the project.
It is in this backdrop where the IGP’s orders come in that a probe be launched into his businesses and the manner in which his assets were earned.
