On July 25 he was remanded again for violating his bail conditions after being initially granted bail on June 27.
The Councillor was arrested for allegedly punishing a school teacher at a school in Nawagattegama by making her kneel down after she reportedly warned Kumara’s daughter regarding her uniform.
He was expelled from the SLFP and barred from contesting future polls.
