The Nugegoda Magistrate’s Court has further remanded former minister Lohan Ratwatte and his wife until 18 November for the possession of an illegally assembled unregistered luxury car.
The vehicle without a number plate was found at a house belonging to Ratwatte’s wife in Mirihana recently during a probe conducted by a team of Police officials based on a tip-off from the Mirihana Police.
The investigating Police Officers had found that the house belonged to Ratwatte’s wife only after discovering the vehicle at the property.
At the time, Lohan Ratwatte had claimed that his Coordinating Secretary, who had died by suicide in Kandy recently, had brought the car to the property without informing him and that he was unaware of the owner of the vehicle.
Lohan Ratwatte was arrested later (Oct 31) over the incident, soon after which his wife was also taken into Police custody. (Newswire)
