The officer conducting the investigation into this incident told the court that the former President&#8217;s action of holding a media discussion has affected the Bribery Commission&#8217;s investigation. Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has stated that he held this media discussion at the request of the wife of suspect Chamara Sampath, and accordingly, he requested that an order be issued to cancel the bail of suspect Chamara Sampath Dassanayake and remand him for obstructing the investigations. The Chief Magistrate also decided to consider this request this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0d85\u0dbd\u0dca\u0dbd\u0dc3\u0dca \u0d9a\u0ddc\u0db8\u0dd2\u0dc3\u0db8
