(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) Former Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Shani Abeysekara has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Abeysekera was arrested by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) in July on charges of fabricating evidence in connection to a case filed on the arrest of former Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Vass Gunawardena.
