The Registrar of the Teldeniya Magistrate’s Court has been arrested on bribery charges, the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption said.
She was reportedly arrested while soliciting a bribe of Rs. 10,000 in order to expedite the auctioning of property on court orders.
Acting on a complaint made by a retired navy officer, Bribery Commission officers had arrested the court registrar near a state bank in the Teldeniya area as she was accepting the bribe.
She is to be produced before the Kandy Magistrate’s Court today (18).
