The Supreme Court today ordered the police Special Investigations Unit not to arrest MP Tiran Alles or to carryout further investigations into irregularities at the RADA institute. This determination was given when the Fundamental Rights petition filed by Alles was considered today at the Supreme Court. Alles alleged that the police had taken action against him under political pressure due to the influence of a certain minister. He also claimed that the government was taking revenge from its political opponents and he too faced the risk of being arrested.
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
