The controversy surrounding the Southern Expressway incident involving Deputy Minister of Co-operatives and Internal Trade, Hemal Gunasekera and Police Constable Suminda Saman, aggravated with the latter being summoned to the Mirihana Police on 6 August.

The Police have informed Suminda that numerous complaints had been made during his tenure as a Police Officer. Earlier PC Suminda Saman, who had stopped Deputy Minister Hemal Gunasekera on the Southern Expressway for speeding, had been reprimanded and assaulted.
 
He had made a complaint to the Police in that regard.
PC Saman was being implicated in an illicit liquor case heard in 2009. The case which had been concluded in 2009, is being dug up after allegations of bribery and corruption had arisen.
