Colombo additional magistrate Thilina Gamage is to be arrested today (10), reports say. That is for having kept baby elephants illegally.

The CID has obtained permission from the Judicial Services Commission to arrest him, according to reports. Since Gamage is a magistrate, the CID should obtain permission from the JSC to arrest him.

There has been talk that Gamage would be arrested, and he filed a FR petition against it, but, the Supreme Court dismissed it.

Meanwhile, Uduwe Dhammaloka Thera, arrested for having kept a baby elephant illegally, was ordered remanded until March 17 by Colombo additional magistrate Nishantha Peiris yesterday.
