Former MP Hirunika Premachandra granted bail
Former parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra, who was given a three-year rigorous prison sentence in June this year, has been released on bail by the Colombo High Court today (22).
Colombo High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja granted bail to Ms. Premachandra following the hearing of the former MP’s bail application.
The Judge ordered Ms Premachandra to be released on Rs. 50, 000 cash bail and two sureties of Rs. 500, 000 each. The Court also imposed a foreign travel ban on her.
On June 28, the Colombo High Court sentenced Ms. Premachandra to three years of rigorous imprisonment for her role in the 2015 kidnapping and assault of a youth in Dematagoda using a Defender.
After considering the evidence brought forth by the victim, Amila Priyankara, who claimed that on December 21, 2015, he was kidnapped and beaten by a gang of individuals who arrived in a black Defender jeep in Dematagoda, the Colombo High Court passed the sentence on the former MP.
