Indictment was filed against former Charity Commissioner of the Colombo Municipal Council for misappropriating 110 sewing machines worth of Rs 1.4 million.

The Attorney General filed indictment with four counts against former Charity Commissioner of CMC Hemantha Gamage before the Colombo High Court for misappropriating the machines in 2005. In the same indictment charges were filed against a driver of the CMC G. Kulathunga Silva of Ihalabiyanvila, Kadawatha and a businessman I. R. Pushpakumara of Waragoda, Kelaniya for aiding and abetting Gamage to misappropriate the machines worth of Rs.1, 440,780.

The Police took the machines into custody with the driver at Kiribathgoda. The driver told the police in his statement that he was told by the Charity Commissioner to handover the sewing machines to Pushpakumara.
