The suspect Ramsey Jaynoor is an employee of a private radio station.
The defence counsel denied the allegations which had been levelled against Mr. Jaynoor and maintained that the complainant was his client’s girlfriend.
“The complainant is my client’s girlfriend. They have been having an affair for about one year. The girl’s parents are opposed to the love affair. That is why she has been compelled to lodge a complaint. There is no dispute between them,” the defence counsel said.
But the police denied there had been a love affair between them.
Fort police Inspector Priyanka said according to a statement given by the complainant they were just friends.
Having considered the submissions, Colombo Fort Magistrate Kanishka Wijeratne ordered that Mr. Jaynoor be released on bail and directed Ms. Sinhawansa to appear in Court on March 15 next year.
