The couple arrested for their alleged involvement in a brutal assault on a woman in Kandana has been granted bail by the Acting Magistrate of Welisara. Each of the suspects was released on bail, with two sureties of Rs. 200,000 each, pending the ongoing legal proceedings.

The case, which has gained widespread attention and condemnation, is scheduled for its next hearing on October 23.

The arrest of the couple, Kasun Madhushanka, the owner of KD Express Courier service in Kandana, and his wife, Praharshani Arunali, unfolded last night in Kandana following the surfacing of a distressing video of the assault on social media. The video, which quickly went viral, ignited a firestorm of outrage and demands for their immediate arrest.

The incident, captured on video, showed a brutal assault on a woman, prompting calls for swift action from law enforcement and authorities. The video's graphic nature and the public outcry surrounding it played a pivotal role in the couple's arrest.
