UPFA MP and Pivithuru Hela Urumaya General Secretary Udaya Gammanpila was remanded till July 1 by Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne.

Police Special Investigations Unit arrested him this morning at Pagoda Rd, Nugegoda, and was produced before the Fort Magistrate.

The magisterial inquiry was carried out in the Magistrate's Chamber.

Gammanpila was questioned by the SIU on two occasions recently 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.
