The acting IGP has given the directions in this regard to the senior DIG in charge of the north western province.
A report is due tomorrow, including about the persons who are aiding and abetting the fugitives to evade the law.
The mayor has filed a writ petition in the Court of Appeal seeking an order to stay the warrant issued by the Kurunegala magistrate’s court for his arrest.
