Relating to the special investigation conducted over the sim cards and mobile phones discovered in the remand cell of Arjun Aloysius and Kasun Palisena, it was revealed that one of the sim cards had been used by an underworld figure, who was allegedly involved with the recent killing reported in the South.

This was revealed during the submission of Senior Deputy Solicitor General Haripriya Jayasundara in the magisterial inquiry over the Bond scam yesterday.

While informing the court about the probability of further legal action being taken into the incident by the prosecution, SDSG Jayasundara said that the prosecution is still receiving the communication details of the five sim cards from service providers to deal with the matter more intensively.

"The CID's inquiry into details of the sim cards could lead to very important revelations as one of the sim cards was used by an underworld figure in the remand cell and there was a rumor that he was said to have been involved in the killing which happened in the southern part of the country", SDSG said off the record.

Meanwhile, Perpetual Treasuries Ltd owner Arjun Aloysius and its CEO Kasun Palisena were ordered to be re-remanded till August 2 by the magistrate over the magisterial inquiry in which they were accused of abetting and conspiring with Arjuna Mahendran to misappropriate public funds worth Rs. 688 million during the Bond auction held on February 27, 2015.
