Police have filed charges against the son of a leading UNP politician for causing damage to public property by crashing his car into the steel barrier at the main entrance to Parliament, at Kotte. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday.
Police personnel on duty at Parliament at the time of the incident said they saw a vehicle approaching the gates at high speed, at about 3 a.m. on Thursday.
