March 27, Colombo (LNW): Badulla District MP Chamara Sampath Dassanayake, who was taken into custody earlier today on corruption-related charges, has been granted bail following his court appearance.
The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court ruled in favour of bail after the MP was produced before the judiciary, hours after his arrest by the Bribery Commission.
Authorities had detained him following an inquiry into allegations of financial misconduct during his tenure in public office.
Dassanayake was reportedly taken into custody after providing a statement to the Bribery Commission earlier in the day.
