Former MP Vijayakala Maheswaran has been ordered to be released from the case filed against her on a statement made in connection to the Sri Lankan Tamil militant organization, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

The order was issued by the Colombo Magistrates Court when the case was taken up for hearing today.

In July 2016, a case was filed against Vijayakala Maheswaran, alleging that she tried to create discord among the races by declaring that the LTTE organisation should be rebuilt. She had allegedly made the statement at a function held in Jaffna.

In October 2023, the Organised Crimes Prevention Division informed the Attorney General that no further legal proceedings would be taken against Vijayakala Maheswaran with regard to the case. 

The court was informed at the time that the Attorney General had instructed to release Vijayakala Maheswaran as the case against her could not be sustained.

Taking up for hearing the case, the Colombo Magistrates Court today ordered Vijayakala Maheswaran to be released from the case. (NewsWire)
