The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered Tusitha Halloluwa, the former Director of the National Lotteries Board, to hand over his mobile phone to investigators.

The directive was issued following a request by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD), which is probing a recent shooting incident involving Halloluwa.

The case relates to an attack that occurred while Halloluwa was travelling in a vehicle.

According to police reports, unidentified gunmen opened fire on the vehicle and allegedly stole several important documents in his possession.

The court is scheduled to reconvene this afternoon to further hear the case.

Three suspects currently in remand custody in connection with the shooting are expected to be produced before the court.

Additionally, three other individuals who were detained for 24 hours for questioning are also due to appear in court today.
