The son-in-law of Member of Parliament Rohitha Abeygunawardena has surrendered to the Matugama Magistrate’s Court a short while ago in connection with the recent seizure of an illegally assembled vehicle in the area.
The suspect, identified as Dhanushka Weerakkody, is reportedly linked to the controversial incident that has attracted significant public and political attention.
Meanwhile, Rasika Withana, the son of MP Jagath Vithana, who was earlier arrested by the Panadura Walana Anti-Vice Unit over the same case, remains in remand custody. He was also apprehended in Matugama on allegations related to the illegal possession of the vehicle.
Investigations are ongoing, with law enforcement authorities continuing to probe the broader network believed to be involved in the assembly and distribution of such vehicles.
The case has sparked renewed calls for accountability and transparency concerning political connections in ongoing criminal investigations.
