In a leaked telephone conversation, Dhammika Bandara, the witch doctor who produced the local cure for COVID19 says that he is not aware of what happened to him when he went to Anuradhapura to offer his “medicine” to the Sri Maha Bodhi.

The witch doctor, who visited Anuradhapura to offer his "miraculous medicine" to the Sri Maha Bodhi, said he was the Godess Kali and went on to identify himself as the mother of the chief incumbent of the Atamasthanaya. His unruly behavior before a senior Buddhist monk came under severe criticism on social media.

“I don’t know what happened to me. I was possessed by ‘Meniyo’ when this happened. It was Meniyo who said this,” Bandara says in a telephone conversation with an individual by the name of ‘Attanayake’, a person who claims to be a member of the Dayaka Sabha.

“I had to sacrifice my own blood to produce this medicine. That was the level of my commitment. ‘Meniyo’ wanted to save the world from the pandemic. That’s why she got involved in this,” Bandara says in the conversation.

He says he has also helped former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to protect his party leadership and the Opposition Leader’s post. “I was very disappointed when he said my local cure was similar to engine oil. “

Bandara says he is saddened by the recent developments surrounding his invention.” But I will continue to work for the betterment of my fellow people. Even at this moment, I am preparing medicine.”
