Wimal’s brother-in-law arrested

A person who is said to be the brother-in-law of former Minister Wimal Weerawansa has been arrested by the Colombo Crime Division (CCD), this morning.

The suspect was arrested for allegedly misleading public with false rumors in connection with several incidents said to have taken place in Northern province.

The individual who is a resident of Kundasale will be produced before a Magistrate today, the CCD said.

Recently, the army dismissed reports that stones were hurled at military camps in the north as well as flags hoisted by the leftover LTTE elements, a day after the Presidential election.
