The Fundamental Rights petition filed by former Transport Minister Kumara Welgama was re-fixed for support on October 21 by Supreme Court.

The Court was informed through the Attorney General that the FCID is conducting further investigations into the alleged financial frauds said to be taken place at Sri Lanka Transport Board.

Kalutara District UPFA parliamentarian Kumara Welgama had sought an order preventing FCID from arresting and remanding him in connection with alleged financial frauds said to be taken place at Sri Lanka Transport Board while awarding several tenders to two private companies to supply bus spare parts since 2011 to 2015.
