Former Minister Duminda Dissanayake was further remanded until July 7, 2025, in connection with the discovery of a gold-plated T-56 assault rifle at the Havelock City apartment complex in Colombo on May 20, 2025.
He was arrested on May 23, 2025, following an investigation carried out by the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID).
The case was taken up today (June 26) before Mount Lavinia Magistrate Chathurika de Silva.
Meanwhile, Dissanayake and two women remain in remand custody, while the third suspect, who is Dissanayake’s cook, was released by the court due to a lack of sufficient evidence to press formal charges against him.
