The Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Ltd. (Lake House<\/a>) is to be the first Sri Lankan company to resort to a law suit over potential financial losses caused by online abuse and fake news.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kavan<\/p><\/div>\n

The company lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigations Department on Thursday against a defamatory Facebook page by the name of ‘Lake House Aaraksha Karanno’.<\/p>\n

The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) was entrusted with the task of offering technical assistance to the CID team handling the inquiry.<\/p>\n

However, the derogatory Facebook page was taken down a day after the complaint to the CID was lodged.<\/p>\n

Highly-placed Police sources told Colombo Telegraph that the inquiry will continue despite the page being taken down by its admin.<\/p>\n

They added the investigation would be carried out based on scientific evidence and details provided by CERT.<\/p>\n

A spokesman from the company who wished to remain anonymous said the company would resort to legal action, based on the the CID inquiry.<\/p>\n

He said Colombo Telegraph’s revelation on the matter was one of the key reasons for the company to seek the assistance of the law enforcement authorities to investigate into the matter.<\/p>\n

Colombo Telegraph is now in a position to reveal that the members of the CID team would visit Lake House early next week to gather information on the Facebook page and those who were behind it.<\/p>\n

In the complaint, the Lake House management said the Facebook page caused a potential financial loss of over Rs. 200 million as it spread false information about the company and its business decision. The Lake House recorded a profit of Rs. 204 million during the last financial year and the management said the Facebook page was aimed at affecting the company’s profitability.<\/p>\n

Colombo Telegraph exclusively reported<\/a> that a derogatory Facebook page, allegedly run by a Director of the company, has created a heated situation among the members of the company\u2019s senior management. Evidence has been found to suspect that a member of the Director board had written derogatory posts for the Facebook page by the name of \u2018Lake House aaraksha karanno\u2019.<\/p>\n
