‘Ishara Sewwandi’, the fugitive suspect wanted in connection with the assassination of underworld figure Sanjeewa Kumara Samararatne, alias ‘Ganemulla Sanjeewa’, has reportedly been arrested in Nepal.
The arrest was made during a joint operation carried out by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Sri Lanka and Nepal Police, during which four other individuals were also taken into custody.
The shooting took place on February 19 inside Hulftsdorp Magistrate’s Court No. 05, where Ganemulla Sanjeewa was shot and killed.
The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Pingpura Dewage Ishara Sewwandi, is believed to have assisted the gunman involved in the attack.
She had been on the run since the day of the incident, with authorities struggling to obtain reliable information about her whereabouts until this recent breakthrough.
