The Chairman of the Matugama Pradeshiya Sabha, Kasun Munasinghe, who was remanded on charges of obstructing the duties of the Secretary of the Matugama Pradeshiya Sabha, has been granted bail.
The Matugama Magistrate’s Court ordered the Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) member to be released on two surety bonds of Rs. 500,000 each.
He was arrested last week after the local council Secretary had filed a complaint with the Matugama Police, claiming that he had forcefully occupied her office and had interfered with her official work.
Based on the complaint, the Chairman was taken into custody on January 02 after providing a statement to the Matugama Police, and was later remanded. (Newswire)
