Fort Magistrate Nilupuli Lankapura today (29) ordered that the order regarding the anticipatory bail application filed by Attorney-at-Law Ajith Pathirana on behalf of suspended IGP Deshabandhu Tennakoon, requesting not to be arrested, be called on August 5.
Fort Magistrate Nilupuli Lankapura has issued a notice to the OIC of the Special Police Investigation Unit to appear in court on that date.
The magistrate also ordered the OIC to file any objections to the anticipatory bail application on that date.
The magistrate made this order when the former IGP filed an anticipatory bail application stating that he was prepared to be arrested in connection with the incident since a relevant case had been filed with the Presidential Secretariat at the time of the struggle.
