Dharmaraja Susendran alias Susei and K. Gautaman alias Gautam who were charged with the possession of over a kilo of drugs and drug racketeering were acquitted of all charges by the Colombo High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja yesterday (28).
The judge ordered that the two defendants be acquitted of all charges as the charges filed by the prosecution against the two defendants had not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Attorney General had indicted the accused in the High Court on charges of possession of 1097 grams of heroin, trafficking and aiding and abetting the drug operation.
The verdict was announced recently after a long trial.
