UPFA MP and Pivithuru Hela Urumaya General Secretary Udaya Gammanpila has been arrested at his office in Pagoda Rd, Nugegoda.

He was reportedly arrested by the police SIU and is being taken there.

Gammanpila was questioned by the SIU on two occasions for allegedly using a fraudulent power of attorney to sell assets in Sri Lanka which belonged to Brian Shaddick of Western Australia.

Gammanpila had filed a Fundamental Rights petition seeking an order to prevent his arrest. He alleged the said complaints by Brian Shaddick and his Power of Attorney Lasitha Perera are fabricated.
