Former Sri Lankan cricketer and international umpire Kumar Dharmasena has denied media reports linking him to an illegal agricultural business operated in Sri Lanka.

In a video message on Facebook, Dharmasena said his factory for the production of Agarwood, popularly known as oudh, products were being carried out as per the laws of the nation. 

He further said the Pintanna Plantations: Agarwood Cultivation was open for anyone to engage in an inspection tour which will prove that the cultivation factory was adhering to stringent regulations. 

Stating that the media reports claiming an illegal business was a mudslinging campaign, Dharmasena reiterated that the agarwood cultivation is being conducted as per the necessary legal provisions and he takes responsibility for the operations of the plant.
