The Kollupitiya Police have obtained a travel ban against Sena Yaddehige, Chairman of Richard Pieris Group, following allegations of sexual abuse by a female business analyst from the company.
Police sources reported that the victim, a 39-year-old resident of Colombo, lodged a complaint last month, claiming she was sexually abused by Yaddehige on May 7 at a star-class hotel in Kollupitiya.
According to the complainant, she had been working online as a business analyst for at least a month while Yaddehige was overseas. On May 6, she was contacted by the company, informing her that Yaddehige had returned to Sri Lanka and wanted to meet her on May 7.
Upon meeting him at the specified location, the woman alleged that Yaddehige sexually abused her. She subsequently reported the incident to the Kollupitiya Police, who then informed the Fort Magistrate.
Sources noted that Yaddehige left the country on the same day the incident occurred.
