Champika accident case in 2016: AG instructs CCD to arrest former Police OIC

02 Jun 2020

The Attorney General (AG) has instructed the Director of the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) to obtain a warrant and arrest the former Officer in Charge (OIC) of the Welikada Police Station on charges of fabricating false evidence in the case filed over the accident involving former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, which took place in 2016. Ranawaka, who was a minister at the time, was involved in an accident in Rajagiriya where a motorcyclist was critically injured. He had allegedly fled the scene and later produced his driver in court as the individual who had been driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. The former Minister was arrested and remanded in December 2019 over the accident on the instructions of the AG, and was later granted bail.
