Senior Minister Athauda Seneviratne who was accused of damaging praivate property was released on personal bail of 1 million rupees after he surrendered himself to the Warakapola Magistrates court this morning.

The Minister was ordered to be present at the Warakapola Police every Sunday. 17 persons including two MSD officers and a Pradeshiya Sabha member are suspected to have been involved in the incident. The magistrate ordered all of them to be present at the court for the next hearing on the 20th of July, our reporter said. (News and pix by Rohan Kumara-Kegalle)

Of course, Ministers and MPs have a different set of laws, because they are Law Makers!

This is a set up to get the heat out of the Joolampitiye Amare affair.

-0+2 # Ceylonese 2012-06-23 02:19

They are the "buddimath janathawa" as called by these culprits on election rally.

-0+8 # Chris 2012-06-23 06:30

I cant imagine him behaving this way; I used to be his Director General, two years ago.

-0+14 # Janaki Kalansuriya 2012-06-23 07:24

How come Police is giving guard to perpetrators of crime (found guilty by court) instead of jailing them and stripping their powers?

-5+4 # sanaboy 2012-06-23 07:32

Judge did something good

-0+11 # CITIZEN 2012-06-23 09:37

Athauda, KOTA-UDA! Can he remain in the Cabinet? He should be dismissed from the Cabinet. Follow the Pakistani example!

-0+10 # Mushtaq 2012-06-23 09:42

Law makers are the law breakers !! He's showing off and encouraging thuggery !

-2+1 # subash 2012-06-23 10:44

The all important fact is that even the most senior Minister is arrested .. this is great in comparison to all other Asian countries.. nothing does under the carpet.

We should appreciate the good things and not view all news items through political spectacles.

-5+1 # shihab 2012-06-23 10:56

I appreciate this governtment can maintain the law and order to any Sri Lankan citizen,thats the real development to the country.

-0+4 # bandara 2012-06-23 12:07

even Pakistan seems to have better standards of accountability

-0+4 # Sue 2012-06-23 12:27

What astonishes me is his stupid followers, and we keep asking what is wrong with Sri Lanka? It is obvious to everyone that its the 'people' of the country that are responsible for all the wrong things happening here.

-0+3 # Upul 2012-06-23 12:36

What a country!!! Corupt politicians

-1+1 # Dharmadasa 2012-06-23 17:37

I raise my hat to WarAKAPOLA M agistrate for applying the law fearlessly.
