Former Minister Johnston Fernando was arrested today by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with the alleged use of an unregistered luxury vehicle. The arrest follows his appearance at the CID earlier today to provide a statement regarding the incident.
The inquiry revolves around an illegally assembled luxury car, identified as a BMW, which was recently seized by law enforcement authorities while parked at a prominent hotel in Colombo. The vehicle is reportedly linked to Fernando, raising concerns about its legal status and registration.
