Teleactor Dasun bade goodbye to everybody last evening at Thihariya ... giving a lesson to everyone.

He was involved in a love affair with Shalani Tharaka 8 moths before this from the month of January onwards. The opportunity which paved

When Shalani was publicising that teledrama in the social media she took precaution in exchanging photos portraying her and Dasun for fearing rumours

going round. Maybe for that very reason on most occasions she had exchanged photos of her and Dasun appearing in the company of their friend Thusitha.

This affair was known to Dinakshi who incidentally was a very good friend of Shalani in her own field. According to information, none of them were aware that Dasun was a married man. In the process, Dasun's birthday fell on last June 8th and Shalani that day had had posted the comment ; Happy birthday ... my best friend in the world", accompanied by several photos where she was closely attached to Dasun. A fan who made a response to this had asked "Why  now isn't the best friend Dinaksh?"

By that time Dasun - Shalani romance had blossomed even deeper; but everything took a right about turn exactly a month later, in the month of July. As mentioned in a previous article, that day sometime back Shalani happened to ask the question 'Can people make deceptions like this and live in falsehood?' after coming to know about Dasun's marriage.

The issue which started between the two of them thus was dragged for about 2 months and it appears that it led to the final unfortunate ending with Dasun taking leave of his life. Shown below are some comments posted by Shalani during the period of their romance when both of them enjoyed moments of joy.

Numerous stories are circulating regarding teledrama actor Dasun Nishantha who committed suicide. While on one side, the reason for Dasun to get disgusted of his life was that teleactress informed him that she was leaving him and that his married wife had requested for a huge sum of money to ask for the divorce, all of

As such, Dasun had wanted to further the intimate relationship between them which he maintained from last January to till July, which was 7 months. In the meantime his married lover had continuously inquired about this and it was revealed that it was with the motive of abandoning that association. However, when she had got together with Dasun's mother, Shalani finally came to know about the true circumstances of the lies he had woven upto that time. It was when such information came into her ears that Shalani has told Dasun's married partner the statements "I am now with him ... we are associating each other with the intention of marrying!" which were of course turbulent words in her ears. Whatever it is, when opposition sprang up from Dasun's wife and on the part of his mother, Shalani had dropped the idea of possessing Dasun any further; but had thought twice or thrice of doing so. Leaving a comment in her Facebook Account on July 19th mentioning 'feeling lost', she had gone on to record the statement "Can people make deceptions like this and live in falsehood?"

Two days after, on the 17th she has inserted the words 'Himi nethi pemakata ikibinda hendumata sitha mage bolanda wela' from that popular song as never before in the Facebook ... expressing her sorrow. A date close to that day she has made a statement on July 26th that "No ... no, I am now not a lover ... I have loved. Love, at some points is of course separation. There had been separation even in the middle of love stories which had ended in marriage. Anybody who has loved, has tasted separation. As such I think that separation too is a taste ...".

The 18 year old schoolgirl Shivaloganathan Vidya was collectively raped and killed on the 13th in the month of May, 2015 in Punkudathiv area, Kayts, Jaffna. In connection with this incident, 9 suspects including Sashikumar alias Swiss Kumar, Poobalasingham Indrakumar, Poobalasingham Jeyakumar, Poobalasingham Jeyakumar, Poobalasinhgam Thavakumar, Mahalingam Sashindran, Thillenadan Chandrahasan, Sivadevan Dushanth, Palani Rupasingham Kugadasan and Jeyatharan Kokilan were filed action against in Jaffna High Court.

This case was heard in the presence of a 3 member bench of judges in the history of courts at Jaffna High Court for the first time. It was revealed during the course of court proceedings that the girl Vidya was murdered on a set plan with the motive of producing a blue film for sale in Switzerland and evidence secured from the prosecution, state's evidence and the defendant party was concluded recently. As such, the verdict of the case running into 332 pages was announced accompanying the order that all 7 found guilty be hanged.

During the period when this case was being heard, attacks on the judge, political influences and an attempt to prey on the judges on a monetary basis and several other anomalous activities were reported; but in the end the guilty party reaped the punishment that was their due share, the prosecution informed with happiness.

Though Dasun Nishantha, the actor who committed suicide had stated in interviews with newspapers that his mother and father were Civil Engineers and that they are living in Canada, it was revealed yesterday that the true situation is something different.

At the time Dasun's dead body was being taken

She mentioned that her husband, a Tamil national had left her and that her second son was about one and a half years old at that time. He had migrated to Canada after which she had looked after both children and gave them education with great difficulty. She added that she used to come daily to Homagama Wilfred Senanayaka Playground from her home in Nittambuwa and used to carry on a business selling ice cream and thus secured the income to care and bring up her children. She says that she still lives in a small house in Nittambuwa and that it was the house which was brought to that status by deceased Dasun's legal wife, that school teacher with whom he had developed a love affair for a period of 13 years from schooldays. She also said that she is surprised about him for having left his wife who contributed with such dedication and that she was equally surprised about the actress who changed him after his marriage.

Dasun's dead body is presently lying in a private funeral parlour in Gampaha and the final rites are expected to be conducted at Malwatta General Cemetery.

Previous news report of the incident

As a result of an instance of agitation near Mt. Lavinia Junction, a  heavy traffic congestion occured this afternoon.

The reason for this agitation was that Rogingya refugees of Myanmar had been staying in this particular house illegally for which Buddhist monks had shown their protest. These Myanmar nationals who were staying in Kankesanthurai

Whatever it is, as this place did not provide sufficient security and because of a clue that a protest was in the offing, the police had mediated and all of them were escorted to the police station this morning (26). However, because of lack of space, once again they were dumped in this very house. It was after that, this clamour had flared up.

When a group of monks and some others had tried to engage in an instance of agitation over the fact that Myanmar Rogingya refugees were staying in this house and that their children have been provided education facilities and not as refugees and that action is being taken by the government to find permanent residentship ultimately ended up in this state of commotion. As a consequence of this, Galle Road was obstructed this afternoon.
