MP Rajitha Senaratne and former MP Chathura Senaratne have left the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) after recording statements over a false complaint filed by a journalist alleging that he was abducted.
They had recorded statements nearly 05 hours long before leaving the premises.
A journalist recently lodged a complaint claiming that he had been abducted and assaulted by four individuals on March 10.
However, following a lengthy investigation by the CCD, the complaint made by the 62-year-old journalist and owner of the ‘Siyarata’ newspaper was proven to be false, police said.
