The Attorney General has instructed the Director of the CID to take necessary legal action against former Additional Magistrate Thilina Gamage to produce him before a court.

This instruction has been given taking into consideration the fact that his bail has been suspended by the Colombo High Court.

Gangodawila Magistrate Kanishka Wijeyratne granted Gamage bail on June 2 over alleged unlawful possession of an elephant calf. The AG filed a revision application at the Colombo High Court against the Magistrate's decision. The High Court suspended the bail till June 21, when the revision application will be considered again.

An elephant calf named 'Sakura' was discovered from Gamage's residence in early 2015. It has been valued at Rs 6.9 million.
