Colombo Municipal Councilor Mahinda Kahandagama was today ordered to be remanded until June 8 by Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage in connection with the incidents that unfolded at MainaGoGama and GotaGoGama on May 9.
The CID named Kahandagama the 26th suspect in the Galle Face attack case.
Deputy Solicitor General Lakmini Girihagama appearing for the CID, alleged that several witnesses have given statements that Kahandama had behaved aggressively with the protesters who marched towards Galle Face Green on May 9.

Responding, DSG Girihamaga alleged that the suspect had been involved in a crime with common intention after being a member of an unlawful assembly. Taking stock of the situation, the Magistrate ordered to remand the suspect till June 8.
