The Criminal Investigations Department (CID), upon the instructions of the Attorney General, obtained an arrest warrant from the Colombo Magistrate’s Court this week.
The parliamentarian's lawyers had then filed a motion today claiming that the warrant had been obtained in an unlawful manner. However, the motion was withdrawn hours later.
