The case filed by Cinnamon Gardens Police against NFF leader Wimal Weerawansa and five others of the NFF for allegedly causing disturbance to the people and blocking the normal flow of traffic was postponed for December 5 by Colombo Chief Magistrate Court yesterday.

 The case was postponed due to the non-presence of the 2nd and 4th suspects in court yesterday.  
Cinnamon Garden Police had charged the accused allegedly for providing leadership to a protest at Bauddhaloka Mawatha on 6th February 2016 which blocked the free flow of vehicles and hindered the public from using the road.
