The immigration controller has told the media that although former minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage arrived at the Katunayake airport to go abroad, the obstacle that arose at the time was removed yesterday afternoon.
it is reported that an investigation will be conducted tomorrow (13th) regarding this incident, and the Immigration Controller has taken steps to suspend two officers of the Immigration Department related to this incident until the investigation is completed.
The immigration officials at the airport did not allow him to go abroad, claiming that a foreign travel ban obtained from the Matugama court against the former minister was in force.
The MP has informed the Immigration Controller that the Matugama Court has not imposed any such proceedings or travel ban against him due to this incident. After that, it has been confirmed that the error occurred due to an error in the computer data system of the Immigration Department. The Immigration Controller has told the media that after correcting the error, former minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage was again allowed to travel abroad.
