Why has he been granted bail?
Watch the airports and sea ports and use of fake/duplicate passports. Especially flights to Switzerland must be watched.
Dear Ms. Esmee de Silva, Good question. This is the ***** legal system in the country. Big powerful people always escape. Just imagine the two fake bearded men who lied are still in custody. This is a real window dressing. This guy Rajitha allegedly committed bigger crimes but tried to put him in jail for minor sin. Besides, some doctors too lied. They said Rajitha is in a critical condition and should be confined to a hospital bed. But we all saw he is walking out of the hospital with a big smile! Any way our doctors have a wonder drug called ‘BAIL’!!!!!
