Former Colombo Municipal Council member Mahinda Kahandagama, has been remanded until October 26.
The Nugegoda Magistrate’s court issued the order after Kahandagama, who had been detained and questioned by investigators, was produced before court today.
Kahandagama was arrested by the Central Crime Investigation Bureau on October 6 following an investigation into allegations of his involvement in ICE narcotics trafficking.
A quantity of ICE was also allegedly recovered from his possession at the time of his arrest.
During subsequent investigations, officers reportedly uncovered footage showing Kahandagama attending a party in Dubai alongside individuals allegedly linked to organised drug trafficking. (Newswire)
