The notice has been issued today following the controversy that emerged earlier this week over the abduction of a 17-year old girl by the Minister’s son.<\/p>\n

It was on Sunday that a mother and father from the Kirulapone held a press conference and announced that Rajitha\u2019s son abducted their underage daughter and pleaded for some information about her.<\/p>\n

The victimized father – Gamini Ranasinghe said his daughter was abducted on February 14 and that she was preparing for the London O\/L exams during the time of the abduction.<\/p>\n

The parents accused that both the Minister and his wife are aware of their daughter being kept at their official residence in Colombo and said although due to the initial interference of the NCPA they managed to get their child back, she was once again abducted on April 6.<\/p>\n

The Minister however rejected the charges and said the girl came with his son willingly due to some issues with her parents. He said the parents\u2019 charges are part of a mud-slinging campaign and said he would take legal action against the parents.
\nPolice Spokesman stated the preliminary investigations have revealed during the time of the incident, the girl had been over 17 years.<\/p>\n
