Underworld Kingpin Makandure Madhush Files Appeal In Dubai Against His Deportation To Sri Lanka: Verdict Due On May 02

Underworld kingpin Makandure Madush has filed an appeal in the Dubai court to avert moves to deport him to Sri Lanka. 

Sources from Dubai said the Dubai court's decision on the deportation of Madhush would be delivered on May 02. 

Deputy Solicitor General Dileepa Pieris informed the Colombo Fort Magistrate earlier this month hat drug kingpin Makandure Madhush will be deported to Sri Lanka soon. 

Madhesh, who was arrested in Dubai in February, currently remains under the custody of Dubai authorities. 

The Deputy Solicitor General who appeared before the Magistrate on behalf of the Attorney General's Department said he would be questioned on the alleged assassination plot on President Maithripala Sirisena upon his return to Colombo.

Makandure Madhush's name has been linked to the alleged assassination plot, first revealed by Army deserter Namal Kumara.
