SJB suspends Amitha Bandara’s membership and organiser role following drug charge

Date:

Colombo (LNW): The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has opted to suspend the party membership of Amitha Bandara, the Kurunegala District Organiser, following reports of his apprehension in a recent drug raid by the Police.

In an official statement, the SJB disclosed that the decision was made in response to information indicating his involvement in the drug-related incident.

Bandara was arrested at the Mahawa Junction on Tuesday, accompanied by the seizure of 778.26 grams of heroin by officers from the Kegalle Crimes Investigations Bureau.

During the arrest, law enforcement confiscated a jeep used for transporting the narcotics, a car, an electric scale, multiple chequebooks from various banks, bank cards, and bank account books from the suspect.

In light of these developments, the SJB has promptly suspended Bandara’s party membership and removed him from the position of Kurunegala District Organiser.

Further decisions on this matter are slated to be addressed during the party’s working committee meeting scheduled for today, December 22.
