Former SLTB Vice Chairman Arrested by CID

uthorities confirmed that Wimalaratne was taken into custody earlier today following a series of inquiries surrounding the ownership and use of a house reportedly associated with the Rajapaksa family. The property in question is believed to have been used by individuals close to the former President, raising concerns over potential misuse of state resources and concealment of assets.

CID sources indicate that Wimalaratne’s arrest is part of a broader probe into alleged corruption and the improper allocation of public property during the Rajapaksa administration. Officials have not ruled out further arrests as the investigation progresses.

The arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing anti-corruption drive, which has targeted several high-profile figures from previous governments.
