Colombo (LNW): The Kandy Magistrate Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of former MP and Actor Ranjan Ramanayake, in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Kandy Special Crimes Investigation Unit in 2010 involving the swindling of money amounting to Rs. 01 million.

The probe is based on a complaint lodged by a teacher living in Kandy who accuses the ex MP of swindling the said amount of money in the promise of marrying her.

The case was taken up before Kandy Additional Magistrate Mohammad Rafi yesterday (21), and the warrant to arrest Ramamayke was issued as the ex MP failed to appear in Court.

The case was adjourned till September 06.
