Three sureties who failed to produce alleged underworld kingpin Kanjipani Imran at court in respect of an ongoing magisterial inquiry were today noticed to appear before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court.
When an attempted murder case filed against Kanjipani Imran was taken up before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court, neither the suspect nor the surety were present in court. The Court was informed by Keselwatta Police that, according to media reports, Kanjipani Imran has fled the country by now.
Taking the facts into account, the court issued notices to three sureties who signed bail bonds on Kanjipani’s behalf, agreeing to pay the full bail amount if the suspect failed to appear in court.
Kanjipani Imran had been granted bail in respect of another case filed for allegedly sending death threats to two police constables attached to the Keselwatte Police Station over the telephone in 2019.
