Police sources told Asian Mirror that the MP would be produced before court today. The MP was arrested for her alleged compliance in the alleged abduction of a youth, in Dematagoda.

 

They further added that a special Police team visited the MP's residence at Havelock Town to make the arrest.

 

The move came after the Attorney General instructed the Police Colombo Crimes Division to arrest UNP Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra in connection with the alleged abduction of a youth in Dematagoda. 

Authoritative sources from the Attorney General’s Department told media that the Attorney General instructed the Police to arrest the Parliamentarian on Thursday night. 

“There was sufficient evidence to suggest the MP’s involvement in the incident. In addition to the statements recorded from witnesses and suspects, the AG department also took into consideration scientific evidence such as telephone records of the suspects,” a highly placed source from the Department said.
