MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena’s daughter granted bail

The court ordered that she be released on two surety bails of Rs. 2 million each.

Rochelle was arrested after surrendering to the Walana Anti-Vice Unit in connection with ongoing investigations into the alleged possession of an illegally assembled vehicle, police confirmed. Her statement had reportedly been recorded for over nine hours prior to her arrest.

Following the arrest, she was handed over to the Matugama Police for further investigation.

Her husband, Dhanushka Weerakkody, remains in remand custody in relation to the same case. Police say Weerakkody is directly connected to the recent seizure of the illegally assembled vehicle in the Matugama area.

Further legal proceedings are expected as investigations continue.
