The Criminal History of Ranil Wickramasinghe, 1977 - 1997

A journalist’s investigation of a several decades. An epic journey through several countries at a great risk to their lives, in search of true perpetrators.

“ Batalanda set on fire” is a bridge to connect the reporting of the past and present. Although it is akin to a horror movie, this book is written about real people with real names who lived and are still alive.This investigative report confirms how politicians who were elected by popular vote, officials who are paid by public money and tax criminals who are like hidden ticks in people's lives gathered under one roof and decided the fate of others.

The English version of 'Batalandata Gini Thabuvemu' will be available from November.
