Currency notes worth Rs. 2.4 million, of Rs.5,000 denomination, that had been earmarked for incineration at the Central Bank, had been lost.
An office assistant (Karyala Karya Sahayake) had been arrested in connection with the loss. He was remanded till July 22 by Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne on Friday.
The Central Bank authorities had declared these notes unfit for circulation due to their being soiled and discoloured.
The suspect, N.G.N. Kumara of Ja-Ela, had allegedly removed the notes one by one from the wads at the Bank over a period of time. The CID had arrested him and produced him in court. (Manopriya Gunasekara and Sumitta Jayawickrama)
