The Colombo High Court has sentenced former Member of Parliament Hirunika Premachandra to three years imprisonment with hard labor. The conviction stems from an incident involving the kidnapping and wrongful imprisonment of a young man working in a shop in the Dematagoda area.
The verdict was delivered by High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja, who found Premachandra guilty of the charges. The case has drawn significant public attention due to Premachandra’s high-profile political career.
