Speaking to 'Sri Lanka Mirror', Lakshika said that he had made an attempt to obtain a sexual bribe.

Although she has informed the news editor of the publication to rectify the article, it is yet to happen, Lakshika added.

As there is a court case over the bribe incident, Lakshika said that she would inform the court about the detrimentary article.

Lakshika further said she is also contemplating on pressing separate defamatory charges as a large number of websites have cited the newspaper report.
