[Audio] Viluthu organization, registered in 150/2, Baudhaloka Mw, Colombo-4, operates as a non-governmental organization. The substantial grants it receives seem to be distributed questionably.

The executive board consists of passive volunteers who sign documents and financial transactions without scrutiny, including some elderly individuals with impaired senses. We wish to investigate this organization without compromising confidentiality..
