Two more individuals have been taken into custody by police in connection with the alleged extortion of money from Janaka Ratnayake, the former head of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL).
Police said that the two suspects, who were apprehended in the Pelwehera neighbourhood of Dambulla, helped and accommodated the primary suspect in the case.
