According to the Daily News the reason centered had been the peculiar manner in which the private media had behaved just after President Kumaratunga was injured and was hospitalized from the bomb blast. The CID has questioned a wife of a leading private bank director who was alleged to have funded Rs. 50 million in the form of a loan. The CID had been trying to find out whether the monies were given to the LTTE to employ the suicide bomber to assassinate the President. Some top businessmen are on the list for CID questioning.
Investigations are still in progress.
