Colombo: The younger daughter of the
jailed former Army chief Sarath Fonseka was briefly held at
the Colombo airport's immigration counter on Friday when she was
returning to the country from US, family said.
Anoma Fonseka, the former army chief's wife said
that Aparna Fonseka was quizzed by the police about her
brother in law Danuna Thilakaratne who is wanted by the police
for his misconduct in supplying material to the Army when his
father in law was the commander of the army.
He continues to evade arrest.
Sarath Fonseka was found guilty by a military tribunal
over the same case and was sentenced to a 30 month jail term
which he is currently serving.
