The Nuwara Eliya acting Magistrate has directed the Nuwara Eliya Police to arrest and present in court Ceylon Workers’ Congress (CWC) General Secretary Minister Jeevan Thondaman.
Thondaman faces allegations 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.
Today (22), Nuwara Eliya Police had summoned Thondaman and other suspects to appear in court regarding the incident. However, none of the suspects appeared, leading lawyers representing the estate company to present the case details to the court.
The Magistrate ordered the police to arrest Minister Jeevan Thondaman and the other involved suspects and present them in court.
