The fraud committed by Ashu Marasinghe’s Skill Development Agency under the guise of providing visas to Japan is close to 2 billion. An outline of it is as follows.
One and half lakhs per person, for nursing profession,Total persons- 866
Two lakhs per person, for food service profession, Total persons – 660
Three lakh each for IT Engineers,Total persons – 15
Two lakhs each for agricultural workers,Total persons – 44
Ashu’s agency has received money from 1580 people saying that they will provide jobs in Japan. So far, not a single person has been sent to Japan. Ashu Marasinghe is a person who pretends to be a professor. It is a great tragedy that such a person commits a crime in this nature.
An hour ago, Adarsha Karandana who claims as a Director of the Ashu’s company and his wife has posted a photo on her FB with the caption ‘#Katunayaka’ . When a journalist ask clarity on her whether she flee the country, she has given a answer that acknowledging it is true.
As the facts are such, Ashu Marasinghe should be immediately arrested and investigated. Remaining silent on such scams would set a dangerous precedent. If that happens, Sri Lanka will become a lawless mafia state
