Former Miss Sri Lanka contest runner up Samudra Hikkaduwa who was accused of running a brothel in Moratuwa, has given a statement to the Walana Central Anti-Vice Squad today, police sources said.

The Panadura- Walana Central Anti-Vice Squad raided a hotel said to be owned by the film and tele drama actress in Moratuwa on August 23. Two alleged sex workers and the manager of the hotel, a retired police sergeant, were arrested.

The police, on information received, had obtained a search warrant from the Moratuwa magistrate and raided the place.

However, Mrs. Hikkaduwa later denied the allegations and said she owned the property in question, which was leased out to another.
