Sri Lanka, Aug. 19 -- Former Executive Director of the National Lotteries Board, Thusitha Halloluwa, has been arrested.

An arrest warrant for Halloluwa was issued by Colombo Additional Magistrate Pasan Amarasena yesterday (18) after he failed to appear in court.

The arrest is linked to an ongoing investigation by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) into an incident where an individual on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire on a jeep carrying Halloluwa and lawyer Dinesh Dodangoda, before snatching a file from the vehicle.
