Former Minister Rajitha Senaratne has filed a third anticipatory bail application before the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court today.

His first anticipatory bail application was rejected by Colombo Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne last week.

Senaratne is fearing arrest over the controversial press conference pertaining to white van abductions.

Two people, who appeared alongside Senaratne at the same press conference, have already been remanded.
