The entire Club Wasantha saga seems to be a social media splash, and the story appears to be evolving. The shooting by two seasoned gunmen at the tattoo shop in Aturugiriya was captured on a mobile phone by someone who knew what was going to happen.
Now, posters have appeared in Colombo stating that others should be ready to go where the slain drug lord Makandure Madush has gone. It is clear that an organized gang is trying to create a fear psychosis.
One theory is that notorious drug lord and ruthless criminal Kanjipani Imran, who is on the run, carried out a revenge attack on Club Wasantha, who failed to return money he was given to launder.
Applae Nuwan, a controversial character claiming to be speaking from Paris, said that Club Wasantha had many skeletons in his cupboard and that he was getting ready to divulge sensitive and secret information.
Could it be that these individuals were interested in bumping off Club Wasantha and burying the secrets?
Club Wasantha boasted that he was close to the Rajapaksa family, but when mass protests broke out against the Rajapaksa regime, he was quick to sponsor the protesters at Galle Face Green. Many vloggers claimed that Club Wasantha used social media and YouTube video programs to portray a flamboyant lifestyle even when he was in financial turmoil.
Club Wasantha had a considerable fan base, and social media was an influential element in his operations. However, his bullet-ridden, naked body on a stretcher made its way to social media in the most disgraceful manner.
