A suspect, who was in remand custody on charges of illegally entering president's official website, was today ordered to be released on bail by Colombo Chief Magistrate Lal Ranasinghe Bandara.
He was released on a cash bail of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties of Rs. 500,000 each.
According to the CID, suspect, Anurudda Harshan Abeysooriya had intruded the website using some weak settings of it and had sent details that he had collected in the public complaints forum of the web to Media organizations inappropriately.
Counsel Premanath Dolawatta who appeared for the suspect told court that the website was not contained with national security information and that his client had only obtained details relating to the public complaints which had been stored in the website, and therefore suspect had no intention to damage the website or affect the national security improperly.
