Former Acting General Manager of Lanka Sathosa, Wimal Perera, who was sentenced to one-year imprisonment, was released on bail by the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court later today.

Magistrate Lanka Jayarathne, later on, released the suspect on a surety bail of Rs.300,000 as he is to appeal against the sentence.
