The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to appear before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today (07) in the ongoing case related to the investigation into the assets of popular model Piumi Hansamali.
The case was previously called on February 14 through a motion before Colombo Magistrate’s Court No. 04, where Colombo Additional Magistrate Manjula Ratnayake ordered it to be recalled on March 7.
Despite being fully aware of today’s court proceedings, the CID had summoned Piumi Hansamali on both March 5 and 6, recording her statements. However, they were absent from today’s hearing, raising questions about their intentions in the case.
As a result, the court has now postponed the hearing to March 21.
Senior Counsel Sumudu Hewage and Advocate Imasha Senadheera appeared in court to represent Piumi Hansamali’s legal rights.
