Sri Lanka, July 18 -- The Colombo Magistrate's Court has rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by former Minister Rajitha Senaratne.

Senaratne had sought to be released on anticipatory bail, preempting his arrest by the Bribery Commission.

Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali Jayatunga issued the order after considering arguments presented by both the petitioner's lawyers and officials from the Bribery Commission.
