MP Jagath Vithana's son has been arrested and remanded in connection with the case, prompting an emotional response from the MP in Parliament. Meanwhile, a travel ban has been imposed on MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena's daughter and son-in-law, who are also linked to the investigation. Authorities are conducting a special probe into whether illegally imported vehicles are still in the country and how they were fraudulently registered.
