Alles informed him of this plan to arrest him.
Following a statement given by Alles to the CID that it was Samaraweera who informed Fernando of the plot, CID Director Ravi Vidyalankara summoned Samaraweera to record a statement.
The CID told us that Samaraweera was therefore summoned mainly to receive more information about the alleged conspiracy to arrest Fernando.
Samaraweera after arriving at the CID at 10 a.m. along with his supporters told the media that he was ready not only to go to the fourth floor, but also the prison in order to send this malicious government home.
It is also interesting to note Samaraweera’s change of attire. When he went to make a statement to the CID, Samaraweera was clad in the national costume.
