A court granted bail to Charith Abeysinghe, the former Horana electorate organizer of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, in a case linked to allegations of obtaining bribes worth millions of rupees from Nadun Chinthaka.
According to the report, the bail order did not immediately lead to Abeysinghe’s release. While Rakitha was able to secure bail and leave custody, Abeysinghe was taken back because he did not have the required money to satisfy the bail conditions.
The case has attracted attention because it involves a former opposition political organizer and claims tied to a large financial transaction. The differing outcomes after the bail ruling highlighted how monetary conditions can affect whether an accused person is actually released.
Proceedings in the matter are expected to continue as the court examines the allegations connected to the reported bribery incident. For now, the main development is that Rakitha left on bail, while Abeysinghe remained in custody despite being granted bail.
