Former Ministers Ravi Karunanayake and Rishad Bathiudeen today arrived before the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

Former Parliamentarian Ravi Karunanayake arrived before the CID to record a statement over the Central Bank Treasury Bond Scam reported in 2016.

Meanwhile, former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen appeared before the CID to record a statement over the Easter Sunday terror attacks that took place on 21 April 2019.

The two former Parliamentarians have been summoned by the CID despite the National Election Commission requesting the Police to postpone inquiries pertaining to the two individuals due to their involvement in the 05 August General Election.

Chairman of the National Election Commission Mahinda Deshapriya had earlier requested Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) C. D. Wickremeratne to postpone the inquiries until after the conclusion of the elections. (Newswire)
