Civil Activist Piyath Nikeshala who was arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has been granted bail.
Piyath Nikeshala, a key activist during the ‘Aragalaya’, was arrested yesterday by the CID.
He was arrested on charges of having live-streamed the incident of protesters setting fire to President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s Colombo residence during the anti-government protests in July last year.
However, Piyath Nikeshala was granted bail by the Fort Magistrate’s Court today.
The Court has also imposed an overseas travel ban on the ‘Argalaya’ activist. (NewsWire)
