The CID has informed courts that the false document which was spoken of for purposes of popularity by Mr.Attanayaka was found and confirmed to be a bogus one, on investigations carried out. The CID also said that if the suspect was given bail there would be a possibility that witnesses maybe influenced and as a large crowd would be alert about this incident, there could be public unsettlement if the suspect is bailed out.
If he is found guilty of preparing false documents, he could be sentenced to a jail term of 7 years as stated in the Penal Code.
