DV Upul Released On Bail

Southern Province Fisheries Minister D.V. Upul was released on bail by Colombo Magistrate Courts a short while ago.

The CID arrested him on June 8 following nearly eight hours of questioning on a controversial statement he recently made.

At a recent meeting in Hambantota, Upul threatened that he is waiting for the return of Mahinda Rajapaksa as Prime Minister so that he could watch the police officers of the Financial Crimes Investigations Division being stoned to death.
