Underworld kingpin Makandure Madush who was arrested at the Bandaranaike International Airport this morning (05) has been taken to the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for questioning, stated the Police Media Spokesperson.

 

Makandure Madush was deported from Dubai this morning and was taken into the custody of the CID upon his arrival at the BIA.

 

Drug kingpin Makandure Madush was under the custody of the Dubai authorities after being arrested at a drug-fuelled party thrown by him in a Dubai hotel, back in October.

 

Along with him, 31 Sri Lankans including underworld figures and celebrities such as singer Amal Perera and his son, actor Ryan Van Rooyen were also arrested in Dubai.

 

The Dubai authorities had deported the arrestees to Sri Lanka at several occasions and Sri Lankan authorities took them into custody for questioning upon their arrival. Some have been remanded as per court orders while others were released after recording statements.
