(SLWJA) Poddala Jayantha recently lodged a complaint with the Criminal
Investigation Department (CID), requesting an investigation into his
abduction and torture in June, 2009. Journalist Poddala Jayantha began
his journalism career in 1989 as a freelance journalist at Ravaya.
Later, he joined Lake House and was working as an investigative
journalist at the time when he was abducted in a white van and tortured.
Later in 2010, he had fled the country and is currently living in the
USA under the status of a refugee. In an interview with the Dailymirror ,

line, and as he did not do so, he had to pay the price.
