Cabinet gives nod to establish new Commercial High Court Colombo, Feb 26 (Daily Mirror) - The Colombo Chief Magistrate today issued an open warrant for the arrest of the main suspect allegedly involved in stealing over Rs. 1 million from a house in Ward Place, Colombo, where the administrative officer of the Vietnam Embassy resides.

The suspect, Mohammed Niyas Mohamed Rikas, a resident of Deans Road in Maradana has been charged for committing this offence. However, the suspect was not present in court when the matter was taken up before Colombo Chief Magistrate Prasanna Alwis. The Chief Magistrate issued an open warrant against this suspect as he is evading court while the case is pending. The suspect had broken into the house on June 26, 2023, at around 3:30 a.m. and stole money.

Why was he released in the first place? Is burglary also a bailable offence? What stupidity of these magistrates. Now the Police should tell the Magistrate to find him.
