Former minister Wimal Weerawansa’s wife Sashi Weerawansa who is alleged to have obtained diplomatic and general passports by submitting birth certificate with forged names and dates of birth, has reportedly fled her home according to the CID team assigned to arrest her said.

The special CID team which arrived at her residence in Kaduwela said they could not find her there. The team had also searched several other houses believed to be possible hideouts according to the police.

At the meeting held in Nugegoda on February 18 Wimal Weerawansa questioned why the arrest of her wife was delaying and challenged that they were awaiting the police. A senior police officer said he might have said so knowing her wife’s plan to escape.

He said the police would however take Sashi Weerawansa into custody within the next few days.

Police said she had obtained a general passport in May last year furnishing an application with the name of Sirja Uyanthi Weerawansa and date of birth as 01.02.1967 whereas she has given the name as Randunu Mudiyanselage Shehasa Udayanthi and the date of birth as 03.02.1971 in the application she submitted to obtain the diplomatic passport, police said.

Seven police teams have been deployed in Kandy , Gampaha and Colombo to search and arrest Sashi Weerawansa police said.(Indika Ramanayake)

Cant believe that Wimale has a mouth like this with a beautiful wife like Shashi..

Weerawansa you and your wife are two crooks!you are anxious to bring Mr back so that you can continue to rob .

boris Saturday, 21 February 2015 05:40 PM

Unbelievable !!! How could this happen ? There was more then enough evidence to impound her 2 passports, even to arrest her ! Dear MS and RW, this is blunder, I am disappointed.

Premalal Saturday, 21 February 2015 05:22 PM

May be she has another passport.

" Wimal Weerawansa questioned why the arrest of her wife was delaying and challenged that they were awaiting the police". What an insult to the CID and police. He is taunting them even though he is not in power. The new govt should hang their head in shame to let this modaya make a fool of the law

renu Saturday, 21 February 2015 02:29 PM

The big talk Weerawansa must be living with another or may be she is at Rajapakse,s place, She is quite familiar with that place.Question Weerawansa with regards to her in Parliament

ed Saturday, 21 February 2015 02:23 PM

IT IS A SHAME FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OF SRI LANKA TO BE DRAGGED AND HOOD WINKED BY THIS NOTORIOUS PARLIAMENTARIAN CHUTI KOTA WEERAWANSA. EVERYTIME HE DOES A MAGIC IN PUBLIC WE SEE HIS PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR TO LOOK SHORTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE. THAT TELLS US MORE ABOUT THIS MAN AS HE IS DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL . I GUESS THE ULTIMATE IS TO ARREST EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY AND CROSS EXAMINE TO GET ALL INFORMATION AND THE CORRUPTION INVOLVED DURING IS PERIOD AS THE MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

Wimal has too many girl friends.. thus he is happy to see her wife away...

(Lanka-e-News- 19.Feb.2015, 11.30PM) Urgent changes are to be effected to the ministerial cabinet after President Maithripalal Sirisena returns to the Island from India after the conclusion of his tour , based on highly placed sources within the government.It is learnt that the President is forced to take this decision because , the present government which made a solemn pledge during the last Presidential elections that it would take stern action against all those corrupt and fraudulent ministers and MPs irrespective of their status or powers is now confronted by protests and allegations from within the government and outside that it has not honored its pledge . Already the faith reposed in the government by the people is somewhat eroded on this account . In the circumstances , the President has taken this decision to effect a cabinet reshuffle.John Amaratunge s ministerial portfolio , which also concerns peace and order that includes the police department is to be given over to another minister . It is strongly believed this arm of the ministry is to be brought under the purview of a ministry that is not under a UNP minister. The Presidential secretariat has decided to probe whether the arrest of Duminda Silva , the UPFA M.P. has hitherto been obstructed because of the intervention and instructions of John Amaratunge.Duminda Silva is right now facing charges under the money%

Buffalo - You should call it SRI LANKA COMEDY EXPRESS as her husband challenged the police to arrest her in a public meeting but she bolted and police cannot trace. Police should keep Wimal in custody until the wife is found.

Nims Sunday, 22 February 2015 03:23 AM

As usual too late to close the stable. Government deliberately gave enough time for her to escape

sudu Sunday, 22 February 2015 01:09 AM

Arrest weerawansa,the big mouth! The third rate crook.no doubt he is behind her crime.

better arrest all corrupt pople including all kuddas and do your investigation

Upul Saturday, 21 February 2015 08:28 PM

If the police wanted to arrest her they had ample time to do that. This is just a big cover up. This will be the story with with the rest of the crooks of the previous govt. It looks to me as if these politicians are playing a game with the general public.

Susil Saturday, 21 February 2015 07:54 PM

She must be hiding at Maddemulana with former President MR. That is why Wimal Weerawansa questioned why the arrest of her wife was delaying and challenged that they were awaiting the police : Pleas send a CID team there.

Draconian Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:10 PM

This is such a ridiculous situation. Isnt the Police and the Govt embarassed. They give this lady and the other crooks so much time that they can escape and even be challenged in public meetings. Shame on all of you really.

Mason Saturday, 21 February 2015 11:57 AM

Is this a case of bolting the stable door after the horse has escaped or bolting the door after having let the horse escape. After all it is quite sometime since it was aware that she had false passport. Why was she not immediately taken into custody ?!

CITIZEN Saturday, 21 February 2015 11:45 AM

Wonder whether she is hiding at Medamulana? That may be why Wimaley was challenging to arrest her. He is only confirming that he knows only to shout but NO SUBSTANCE!

If you arrest Weerawansa first, you can get the hide out of his 1st wife.

Fassey Saturday, 21 February 2015 11:33 AM

Police had given her enough time to escape. Utter negligence. In other cases they arrest someone from the house until the suspect surrenders. Same action should be applied here too. Law should be equal to all citizen

The CID is acting like a set of baffoons. They are behaving like a set of jokers, and the Minister in charge of this department should be questioned on their attitude. The public has the right to know what exactly is going on.

Justice Saturday, 21 February 2015 11:13 AM

She should be arrested at once. No immunity should be allowed.
