Former Presidential Secretary Saman Ekanayake was ordered to be held in remanded custody until February 11 by Colombo Fort Magistrate Isuru Nettikumara today (28).

The order was issued during the magisterial inquiry into the case involving former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who faces allegations under the Public Property Act.

Ekanayake appeared before the court today, where the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officially named him as the second suspect in the ongoing proceedings.

The investigation centers on the alleged misuse of public funds, with the court recently noting that certain foreign travel associated with the case appeared to be private rather than official business.
