A major controversy has erupted in Sri Lanka after the arrest of MP Jagath Vithana's son in connection with an illegally imported luxury vehicle.
The investigation has expanded to include the daughter and son-in-law of MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena, who are now under a court-imposed travel ban. The luxury SUV at the center of the scandal was allegedly smuggled into the country and fraudulently registered, with links between the families of the two MPs. The issue has sparked emotional scenes in Parliament, with MP Vithana breaking down while pleading for justice for his son.
Authorities are conducting a special probe into the broader network of illegal vehicle imports involving political figures.
