The son-in-law of former minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena has been remanded until August 8 by the Matugama Magistrate’s Court in connection with a case involving an illegally assembled vehicle.

Meanwhile SJB MP Jagath Vithana’s son who was arrested in connection with the same case, has been granted bail.

The case involves a high-end jeep allegedly smuggled into Sri Lanka and fraudulently registered.

The vehicle was initially registered under the name of Abeygunawardena’s daughter, Melanie, and later sold in October 2024 to the son of MP Jagath Vithana.

While MP Vithana claimed the vehicle was purchased for Rs. 45 million, investigators noted it had been declared at only Rs. 20 million, prompting suspicions of document forgery and tax evasion. (Newswire)
