Former Minister Duminda Dissanayake has been remanded until the 29th of this month by the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court. The order follows his arrest in connection with the discovery of a gold-plated T-56 assault rifle.
Earlier, three individuals—including two women—were arrested for allegedly possessing the firearm at a residence complex in Havelock City. Based on information uncovered during police investigations, former minister Dissanayake was taken into custody yesterday on suspicion.
