Avant Garde Chairman Nissanka Senadhipathy has been arrested by the Police at the Katunaike Bandaranaike International Airport early this morning.

Senadhipathy was arrested by the CID upon his arrival from Singapore. Police sources said he was arrested for violating immigration and emigration laws.

Senadhipathy is a suspect in the Avant Garde case and the court has already issued a warrant for his arrest.

He recently sparked a controversy by leaking the audiotape of a telephone conversation he had with Solicitor General Dilrukshi Dias Wickremasinghe.
