UPFA MP Sajin de Vass Gunawardena filed a bail application petition with the Colombo High Court over the Fort Magistrate’s refusal to do so.

Colombo Fort Magistrate Priyantha Liyanage turned down Gunawardena’s bail application based on medical grounds earlier this month. He was further remanded till June 17.

Gunawardena was arrested on May 11 by CID for allegedly misusing 22 vehicles of the Presidential Secretariat.

The bail application is to be taken up in the High Court on Thursday.
