Date:

Borelle Sirisumana Thero, a Buddhist Monk whose name not very long ago swarmed across Social Media making headlines due to his self-proclamation of being a disciple possessing ‘a higher self’ (margaphala) in the path to ‘enlightenment’, has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with the probe into Thilini Priyamali.

According to Police Spokesman Nihal Thalduwa, the Thera was arrested based on findings of the probe into Priyamali, a businesswoman who was arrested in connection with a grand financial scandal.
