The mother of Danuna Tillekaratne was arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for further questioning, following the recording of a statement by herself to the CID yesterday.
Police Spokesman SP Preshanth Jayakody confirmed to Daily Mirror online that Mrs. Asoka Tillekaratne had been taken into custody for further questioning by the CID.
Danuna Tillekaratne is the son-in-law of defeated presidential candidate General Sarath Fonseka who is currently under arrest by the military police.
The Colombo Fort Magistrate had issued an arrest warrant for Danuna Tillekaratne last week over the Hicorp transaction.
Cash worth 75 million rupees was also recovered from several safety lockers belonging to Mrs. Asoka Tillekaratne early this week. (RR)
