The Colombo Magistrate's Court has issued an arrest warrant against former State Minister Diana Gamage for failing to appear in court regarding charges related to violations of immigration and emigration laws.

The arrest warrant was issued this morning by Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali after Gamage did not attend the ongoing trial. The case pertains to allegations of unlawful conduct under Sri Lanka's immigration regulations.

Authorities have been directed to arrest and present the former minister before the court at the earliest. Further legal proceedings will follow once Gamage is brought to the court.

This marks the latest development in a case that has attracted significant public attention.
