Former Director of the CID SSP Shani Abeysekera who was interdicted yesterday has been issued an overseas travel ban by the Nugegoda Magistrate's Court.

Abeysekera was interdicted following his "leaked" telephone conversation with UNP MP Ranjan Ramanayake, which was published in the media. \

In the conversation, Abeysekera discusses matters relating to several "high-profile" investigations with the UNP lawmaker.

Abeysekera was transferred as the Personal Assistant to the DIG- Southern Province after the current government came to power.
