Young actress Harshi Rasanga, who was recently arrested over allegations of pawning a gold chain and pendant belonging to cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa without his knowledge, has released a video on social media addressing the incident.
In the video, she claims the gold chain was gifted to her by Rajapaksa and asserts that legal action has been initiated for the alleged insult she faced.
However, Harshi (23) was released on a surety of Rs. 500,000 by the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court on March 29.
Police reports indicate that during their previous relationship, Rajapaksa had handed over the gold chain and pendant to her.
Police noted that after their breakup, the cricketer demanded the gold chain and pendant from the actress, who had allegedly informed him that they had been pawned and handed over a receipt, claiming she had obtained nearly Rs. 600,000.
The arrest was made after the cricketer lodged a complaint at Thalangama Police, presenting the pawning receipt.
The actress faces charges of criminal breach of trust and dishonest misappropriation.
The case is scheduled to be heard again on April 22, when the Thalangama Police have been ordered to take the gold chain and pendant from her possession and present them before the court.
Investigations are ongoing under the guidance of Acting OIC Chief Inspector Sudath Malaweera.
The video released by Harshi is as follows:
