They had surrendered to the Bogahakumbura Police this morning (July 07).

 

Reportedly, the former JVP Provincial Councillor and the national organiser of All Ceylon Farmers’ Federation and the other arrestees had organized a protest on the 1st of July at Boralanda, in violation of the quarantine regulations.

 

The police said the arrestees will be produced before Welimada Court later today.

 


UPDATE: Samantha Vidyarathna, Namal Karunaratne and three others who were taken into custody for flouting quarantine rules have been granted bail.

 

Welimada Court released them on personal bails each valued at Rs. 100,000.
