Last year's Police skipper and Sri Lanka ruggerite Nilusha Fernando was remanded after he was produced before the Mount Lavinia Magistrate by the Moratuwa Police for allegedly being in the company of a friend who was involved in a shooting incident in Lunawa, Moratuwa on Tuesday night.

Fernando who was riding a motor cycle had stopped the bike to talk to a friend who was in a parked car when the pillion rider's gun had gone off accidentally injuring the motorist who was rushed to the National Hospital, Colombo and is now in the Intensive Care Unit.

Nilusha has been representing the Police rugby team since 2003 and captained the team last year and also donned the Sri Lanka Jersey at the Asian Five Nations Tournament in Chinese Taipei in November last year.
