The CID today informed the court that it had initiated an inquiry against former minister Gamini Lokuge under the allegation of contempt of court over an alleged statement made by him to the media regarding the remand order given by the High Court on Tissa Attanayake recently.
Subsequently, acceding the prosecution request, Colombo Chief Magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya allowed the CID to obtain video recordings of the so-called statement of Mr. Lokuge from five media institutes to continue the inquiry.
On a complaint lodged by Mohammad Misar Maulana, a businessman, the CID had begun the investigation on Mr. Lokuge's statement made on October 19 at the High Court premises, Colombo.
