The claim
The CID is investigating former Army Commander Shavendra Silva over the alleged Mullivaikkal massacre and missing gold stock.
Original review summary
The review says the Police Media Division confirmed that no investigation had been reported into the alleged Wellamullivaikkal killings, and Silva denied the claim. For the separate missing-gold allegation, police said no report had been received of an investigation targeting Silva and Jagath Dias; the review also says the posts imitating news outlets were fabricated.[S1]
