The Court of Appeal today (15) directed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure the safety of Sampath Manamperi when he surrenders to the relevant Magistrate’s Court in connection with the discovery of two concealed containers in Middeniya, suspected to contain chemical substances used in the production of crystal methamphetamine (“Ice”).
The order was issued after Manamperi’s attorney informed court that his client was prepared to surrender. The Court also instructed that the directive be communicated to the investigating officers handling the case.
The ruling followed the consideration of a writ petition filed by Manamperi’s legal team. He is reportedly wanted for arrest over the incident involving the containers.
