University student granted bail following rumour regarding plane crash involving President
A university student who was remanded for spreading a false rumour regarding a plane crash involving President Maithripala Sirisena on Facebook was released on bail today (May 24).
During today's hearing, Colombo Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne had released the suspect on a surety bail of Rs 100,000.
The undergraduate had published a Facebook post stating that the flight in which President Maithripala Sirisena was travelling to China had crashed mid-way though the journey.
