Court grants bail to former Welikada OIC

The former Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the Welikada Police Station ASP Sudath Asmadala was granted bail today (03) after surrendering to the Colombo Additional Magistrate.

The Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) was instructed by the Attorney General (AG) on Monday (01) to obtain a warrant and arrest ASP Asmadala.

ASP Asmadala was to be arrested on charges of fabricating false evidence in the case over an accident involving former Parliamentarian Patali Champika Ranawaka.

Former MP Ranawaka’s Jeep was involved in an accident in Rajagiriya in 2016, critically injuring a motorcyclist.

The former Parliamentarian, who had reportedly fled the scene, had later produced his driver in court as the one who had been driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Patali Champika Ranawaka was later arrested and remanded in December 2019 over the accident on the instructions of the Attorney General. (Newswire)
