The social media went into a storm because of a video which portrayed an illicit association of a couple of a leading bank some weeks ago. Later what was reported was that because of that affair the girl involved had been expelled from her work-place and that the family lives of both parties involved had been shattered. Information had spread that this video had circulated because of the 'phone repair

According to the latest investigations carried out in this connection it has been reported that the 'phone repair malli story'  has just been a fib woven by the lover (bank officer) to make his getaway. In reality it is this very bank officer who was involved and who had directed the video to the media, information revealed. The illicit affair concerned has in fact taken place between the girl and the senior administrative officer of the bank at the Kadawatha Branch. After the incident came to light, what really had happened was that instead of the girl being expelled from service she has got a transfer. In this instance she has got the transfer to the Dehiwala Branch.

Presumably because of news spread by those aware of the incident and as a result of the outburst which took place during the past few days, an increased number of customers had been observed moving about the Dehiwala Branch, it was reported. The sorry state of affairs related to this episode is that this couple had behaved in this manner within the bank although in an unapproved way on the understanding that they were true lovers after which these happenings had gone this far and because he was not successful in finally claiming her it had developed into a revenge culminating in confusing and destroying their lives. The lover who pinned so much faith on the bank officer and got involved in this incident had never dreamt that the love-scenes were being videoed in secret. Though the two of them have had to separate from each other from their place of work in the face of this lliason, the connection had nevertheless kept going on for some time. However when some misunderstanding had later arisen between the two the girl has had to enter into marriage with another while her bank-lover who had said that he had been a married man before, had disliked this change. In fact he had then threatened her saying, "if you can't stay with me right along ... I'll leak out all that!" She had pushed aside those threats and had got married and the bank officer had not however taken revenge on her immediately as such.

What the bank officer then had tried to do was to make her the scapegoat over this matter concerning the videos and to carry on with the intimacy as before. His vision had not materialised because she has refused his advances continuously. It was after that he had released the video tapes to the internet. When the girl questioned him about this at the time the videos were circulating over the internet what he had told was that it had been done by the person who attended to the repairs of the telephone, thus fabricating everything. But she had told the police that the said videos were circulated by he himself. By now the information that the story of the 'phone repair malli' has been confirmed as false on investigations conducted and no such person is to be found either.

The victimised girl is contemplating taking legal action against this culprit. As a consequence of this hulabaloo the bank under reference too has faced ignominy and employees of the bank, it is understood have mentioned that they are facing a situation where they find it difficult to get onto the roads sporting a T-shirt reflecting the logo of their bank. Some males are supposed to be casting uncalled for remarks in the form of, "ah ... nangi, can't you give us also a small chance?" it was reported.
