The Colombo Additional Magistrate today refused to issue an arrest warrant on former Welikada Police OIC, ASP Sudath Asmadala, and granted him bail over allegedly fabricating evidence in the 2016 Rajagiriya accident case.

When the case was taken up, Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) requested the Colombo Additional Magistrate to issue an arrest warrant on former OIC for allegedly fabricating evidence in the case filed against former minister Patali Champika Ranawaka on charges of causing an accident at Rajagiriya in 2016.

However, when the case was taken up today, Colombo Additional Magistrate Kanchana Neranjani de Silva refused to issue an arrest warrant on former OIC. (Yoshitha Perera)
