Controversial Sri Lankan businessman, Ravi Wettasinghe, has been arrested by immigration officials at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in connection with a pending case, police spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said.
Though what the pending case is not clear as yet, Ravi Wettasinghe, who was chairman of Wesco, the CTB’s Werahera central workshop after being privatized has been allegedly involved in several cases years ago.
In 1993, Mr. Wettasinghe bought the government-owned Werehera Bus factory for Rs. 25 million, but ran into problems and eventually left the country forcing the government to pay Rs. 460 million in salaries for the workers.
