Sri Lankan actress Damitha Abeyratne and her husband have been arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) over an allegation of financial fraud.
The couple was arrested after having surrendered to the Fort Magistrate’s Court today over the financial scam.
The Fort Magistrate’s Court yesterday imposed a travel ban on the actress and her husband in connection to the case filed concerning the financial scam.
Earlier this week, the Court of Appeal also rejected the couple’s request for an interim order preventing their arrest under the Immigrants and Emigrants Act.
