The Fort Police will take legal action against the management of the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo for allowing to host a birthday party on Sunday night when islandwide restrictions are presently in place, the Dailymirror learns.

Earlier this morning, the police arrested event organiser Chandimal Jayasinghe and model Piumi Hansamali for organising a birthday party at the hotel, violating quarantine regulations. They were later granted bail by the Hulfsfrops Magistrate.

It was reported that at least 25 persons had attended the party.

Police has identified several persons while investigations are underway to identify others through the CCTV footages.

All gatherings, parties, weddings etc have been prohibited by the government until further notice due to the spread of COVID-19.(DSB)

Finally, the police will become the accused and the hotel, the victim.

Even in communist China the state media releases or fabricated news like this to keep the people happy. Lankans are just too easy.

Michael Ranasinghe Tuesday, 01 June 2021 08:35 AM

Let's break this down to a normal situation. If a person hosts a party at his residence the Police arrests the owner of the house . What's different with Shangri la ????

Indunil Sriyantha Peiris Tuesday, 01 June 2021 08:41 AM

Bull shit. Nothing wi happened,

Jagath Silva Tuesday, 01 June 2021 09:05 AM

Servant Vs. Master

Solomon Tuesday, 01 June 2021 09:13 AM

How were the hosts and 25 guests allowed travel to and from shangri la? All of them above the law? Breaching quarantine regulations are bailable offences?
