The man who staged a protest on top of a metal structure near the Viharamahadevi park yesterday was remanded till 29 September after being produced in Court a short while ago.

The man who was identified as Asanga de Soyza, was charged with violating public peace by getting on top of the structure and staging the protest the whole day till he finally came down last night.

Meanwhile the Fraud bureau told the Court that the man is wanted over a vehicle fraud. The man had told Court that he had no job. The Court told the police to produce him before a psychiatrist.
