The Colombo High Court today granted permission for the Attorney General to amend the indictments filed against Swiss Embassy employee Ganiya Bannister Francis for allegedly making a false claim that she has been abducted and sexually harassed.

High Court Judge Namal Balalle made this order subsequent to a request by the Attorney General and fixed the case to be heard on June 15.

Ganiya Bannister has been accused of giving false information to embarrass the Sri Lankan Government and fabricating evidence in her abduction claim.

The Attorney General had filed indictment against Ganiya Bannister Francis for fabricating false evidence to effect that on or around 25th of November 2019, five persons in a white vehicle had abducted her in the Cinnamon Gardens area in Colombo, threatened her with a firearm, detained her for several hours and questioned about CID former Inspector Nishantha Silva who had fled the country.

Real mastermind and fabricated party involved is watching silently the progress of the case behind; they are nothing but the US cousins.
