Anarkali’s lawyers considering filing FR case

Lawyers for film actress Anarkali are considering filing a Fundamental Rights application against the Police, if they fail to take action to arrest Western Provincial Council member Duminda Silva who has been accused of abducting the actress and her mother and holding them forcibly.

The move came after Mount Lavinia Additional Magistrate and Additional District Judge, Dharshika Wimalasiri turned down an anticipatory bail application filed by the provincial council member.

Wellawatta Police Officer in Charge, Chief Inspector Mangala Dehideniya told Timesonline that there were no immediate plans to arrest Mr. Silva, though the Anticipatory bail application was turned down.

“He has to be present at the next date when the case is taken up on November 13”, he said.

Anarkali speaking to media she and her mother still live in fear as they have been threatened by Mr. Silva.

“We still live in fear and hope that action would be taken against Mr. Silva”, she said.
