The Colombo Fort Police yesterday arrested Sanjaya Mahawatta, the chairman of the ‘Magen Ratata’ organization who dashed coconuts in front of the entrance to the CID building calling for a divine curse on the officers of the Criminal Investigation Department.
He had reportedly engaged in this act stating that a proper investigation has not being done so far regarding the complaint about a fraud related to the purchase of immunoglobulin vaccines.
A team of officials including the Colombo Fort Police OIC had been near the CID when the incident happened and they had arrested him.
Later the officials had released Mahawatta on police bail yesterday.
At the time of this incident, several civil activists too had been on the roadside near the entrance to the Criminal Investigation Department.
