Member of Parliament Archchuna Ramanathan, who had been in remand custody, was ordered to be released on bail today (29) after being produced before the Mallakam Magistrate’s Court.

MP Archchuna was arrested earlier by the Ilavalai Police over allegations that he threatened two women with a firearm during a land dispute in Periyavilaan, Jaffna, on April 25. 

The incident reportedly escalated when the MP attempted to clear land that the court had previously declared belonged to him, while two women also claimed ownership of part of the property.

The confrontation led to the alleged firearm threat, prompting police action. The MP was initially remanded until April 29, while one of the women involved was also arrested the following day.

After he was produced in court today, the Magistrate ordered his release on bail. (Newswire)
