(COLOMBO) – A 37-year-old female doctor, who is reportedly the ex-wife of a local popular actor, was arrested on Tuesday by immigration officials at the Katunayake Airport.
The arrest followed an earlier travel ban imposed by the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court in connection with financial fraud charges.
The woman, a resident of Kurunegala was detained at 8:50 a.m. upon arrival from New Delhi, India, on SriLankan Airlines flight UL-192.
Following her arrest, she was handed over to the Katunayake Airport Police, who have since transferred her to the Kollupitiya Police in Colombo for further legal proceedings.
