Former Member of Parliament Athuraliye Rathana Thero has been remanded until September 12, following his appearance before the Nugegoda Magistrate’s Court today (29).
The remand order was issued after Rathana Thero surrendered to court in relation to an outstanding arrest warrant.
The case concerns an incident in 2020, where Rathana Thero allegedly abducted and threatened Ven. Wedinigama Wimalatissa Thero, the General Secretary of the Ape Janabala Party, in a bid to secure the party’s national list parliamentary seat.
