Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament today that former central bank governor Arjuna Mahendran had gone to Singapore to attend a wedding.

Joint opposition informed Parliament yesterday that Mr. Mahendran had fled the   country and that it was impossible to impound his passport as he was not a Sri Lankan citizen.

The COPE report presented in Parliament this morning has held Mr. Mahendran responsible for the controversial sale of Central Bank bonds.
