Colombo Chief Magistrate Prasanna Alwis decided that it was not appropriate to set bail for the personal bail application submitted by Karadana Gamaralalage Wageesha Adarsha, who is said to be the girlfriend of former presidential advisor Ashu Marasinghe.
Accordingly, the Magistrate dismissed the application which was filed seeking bail in case she is arrested by the police.
The Magistrate stated that the allegations made in relation to the investigation conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) appear to be bailable offences, and that the investigation of the incident is not at the initial stage but is scheduled to be completed.
The officials of the Computer Crime Division of the CID appeared based on summons issued by the court to present facts related to this incident, and a panel of lawyers including lawyer Chaminda Athukorala appeared on behalf of the aggrieved party Ashu Marasinghe.
