The Criminal Investigation Department(CID) has arrested two persons who have claimed to be a 'white van' driver and a white van abduction victim.
The white van press briefing was held in the run up to the presidential elections.
In December, the CID launched a probe into the media conference conducted. According to the CID, investigations were launched after a complaint was lodged by an individual named Kumudu Pradeep Sanjeewa Perera. The CID had also informed the the Colombo Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne on the probe. Considering a request made by the CID, the Chief Magistrate ordered several media outlets to submit the unedited video footage from the press conference.
