Udayanga Weeratunga who served as Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Russia was remanded until 17 January by the Nugegoda Magistrate’s Court today.
He was arrested earlier today after allegedly assaulting his neighbour.

He was also involved in promoting Ukrainian tourists to visit Sri Lanka during the previous administration.
