Jeewan Thondaman to be arrested

The acting Magistrate of Nuwara Eliya has instructed the Nuwara Eliya Police to arrest and produce Ceylon Workers' Congress (CWC) General Secretary Minister Jeevan Thondaman to court. 

 

Thondaman accused of taking the law into his own hands, behaving disorderly, and threatening police officers and management at a Nuwara Eliya tea estate on May 31.

 

Nuwara Eliya Police had summoned Thondaman and other suspects to appear in court today (22) regarding the incident. 

 

However, none of the suspects appeared, prompting lawyers representing the estate company to present the case details to the court.

 

Accordingly, the Magistrate ordered the police to arrest Thondaman and the other suspects involved in the incident and produce them before the court.
