A large number of journalists gathered outside UNP headquarters Sirikotha, in Kotte yesterday following information that the police were to raid the premises in search of booklets defamatory of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family.

Nissanka Nanayakkara, a UNP official, told reporters they had information that the CID had obtained a warrant to search for the booklet titled ‘The Rajapaksa Family Tree’.

However, Mirihana Police officers who visited the location told journalists they had received no instructions to raid the place. They said there was no truth in the reports of a warrant being issued to search Sirikotha.
