Police raid Bogawantalawa wedding ceremony
Police said that the wedding was held at a function hall in the Ariyapura area in Bogawantalawa violating the current COVID-19 laws.
Earlier following a request, Public Health Inspectors had given permission to register a marriage at the place with the participation of a limited number of relatives of the bride and groom.
However, later they had received information that instead of just the registration a wedding was taking place with a large gathering.
The raid was carried out by the Bogawantalawa Police and the Public Health Inspectors on a tip off received by the Bogawantalawa Police.
