Rajitha Senaratne Files Anticipatory Bail Application Seeking To Prevent His Arrest Over White Van Press conference

December 19, 2019

Former Minister Rajitha Senaratne has filed an anticipatory bail application with the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court in order to prevent his arrest regarding the controversial media briefing on white vans.

This comes a day after the arrest of Patali Champika Ranawaka over an accident that took place in 2016.

Two men, who appeared alongside Senaratne at the "white van" press conference, have been arrested by the Police.

It is widely speculated that Senaratne too is likely to be arrested over the same investigation.
