Actress Damitha Abeyratne and her husband, who were arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with an alleged financial fraud, have been remanded on the orders of the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court. The couple will remain in remand until April 17, as investigations into the case continue.

The CID had been investigating Abeyratne and her husband regarding their alleged involvement in a money scam, specifically related to the defrauding of Rs. 3 million under the promise of employment in South Korea.

Following their arrest, the couple appeared before the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court, where the decision for remand was made. The court had previously rejected a writ petition filed in an attempt to prevent their arrest.

Additionally, Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage imposed an overseas travel ban on the couple on Wednesday (03) in connection with the alleged fraud case.

This development sheds light on the ongoing investigations into the financial fraud allegations against the actress and her husband. As the legal proceedings unfold, further details may emerge regarding the specifics of the charges and the evidence presented.
