A member of the Kandaketiya Pradeshiya Sabha representing the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has been arrested by the Badulla Galauda Police in Pallewatte for possessing 86 grams of cannabis.
According to police, the suspect—who also works as a security assistant at the Hapathgamuwa electric fence—is a resident of Pallewatte, Hapathgamuwa in Hali Ela.
The arrest was made during a sudden raid conducted using a decoy, following a tip-off that the councillor was involved in selling cannabis. Officers found 86 grams of cannabis that had been prepared for distribution.
Further investigations are underway, and the suspect is expected to be produced before the Badulla Magistrate’s Court today (17).
