Gampaha Magistrate Judge Shirani Chaturanthi Perera ordered the release of 04 people including former Director of Criminal Investigation Department Shani Abeysekara.
The Magistrate made this announcement after Colombo Crime Division Police Inspector Jagath Nishantha informed the court that the Attorney General had informed the court that he did not wish to proceed further with the case filed against these four.
Senior Superintendent of Police Shani Abeysekera was remanded in prison after being arrested in 2014 on charges of giving false evidence for a court case related to an ongoing case against former DIG Vas Gunawardena.
