Colombo (LNW): Piyath Nikeshala, social media activist and a prominent figure of the ‘Aragalaya’ people’s protest last year, who was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday (26), has been granted bail.

This was when Nikeshala was produced before the Fort Magistrate Court today (27).

Nikeshala was arrested by the CID on the charge of live-streaming the incident of a group of people presumed to be protesters setting fire on President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s private residence in Colombo in July last year.

The Magistrate Court also imposed an overseas travel ban on Nikeshala.
