September 29, Colombo (LNW): Jaffna District Member of Parliament Dr Ramanathan Archchuna was taken into custody earlier today by officers from the Fort Police, following an ongoing investigation into an incident during a recent public demonstration.
The arrest took place when the MP voluntarily appeared at the Fort Police Station this morning (29th) to provide a statement related to the matter. The investigation stems from a Satyagraha protest held in Colombo, during which Dr Archchuna was reportedly involved in a verbal confrontation with a police officer assigned to the area.
Authorities have confirmed that the arrest was made on allegations of obstructing a police officer in the execution of their duties.
