Three motorcyclists have been fined by the Mullaitivu Magistrate’s Court after pleading guilty to violating traffic laws while travelling to a commemorative event held in Mullivaikkal last month.
The suspects were arrested by the Puthukudiyiruppu Police on May 23 following investigations into reports that several motorcyclists had violated road traffic regulations while travelling to Mullivaikkal on May 18.
Police investigations revealed that the three suspects had travelled by motorcycle from the Kilinochchi area towards Mullivaikkal.
The suspects were produced before the Mullaitivu Magistrate’s Court on May 23 and were released on three surety bails of Rs. 150,000 each.
When the case was taken up again on June 16, the three suspects pleaded guilty to the charges.
The court subsequently imposed fines of Rs. 11,500, Rs. 11,500 and Rs. 17,500 respectively before ordering their release. (Newswire)
