The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested Ulugetenne, a former Ambassador to Cuba, on 28 July, over the alleged disappearance of a person named Shantha Samaraweera on the basis of a statement given by Selvathambi Mahendran, alias Bharathi, of the LTTE.
The former Minister and Attorney-at-Law filed his application in terms of Article 140 of the Constitution. Among the six respondents are Public Security Ministry Secretary retired SDIG Ravi Seneviratne, IGP Priyantha Weerasooriya, SDIG, CID, Asanka Karawita and CID Director SSP (retd.) Shani Abeysekera.
