A major controversy has erupted in Sri Lanka after the arrest of MP Jagath Vithana's son in connection with an illegally imported luxury SUV.
The vehicle, allegedly smuggled and fraudulently registered, was reportedly sold by the daughter of another MP, Rohitha Abeygunawardena, whose daughter and son-in-law now face a court-imposed travel ban. The scandal has sparked emotional scenes in Parliament, with MP Vithana breaking down while pleading for justice for his son. Authorities have launched a special investigation into the illegal vehicle imports and the involvement of political families.
The case has intensified scrutiny of corruption and abuse of power among Sri Lankan politicians.
