Ex-Provincial Councillor arrested over Rs. 9 Mn bribery case
The Bribery Commission has apprehended former Provincial Councillor and businessman Salochana Gamage, along with another businessman, in Pitakotte over a Rs. 9 million bribery case.

According to the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), the bribe was demanded to expedite compensation for land owned by a relative of the complainant. This land had been acquired by the Urban Development Authority.
