Reports have surfaced that underworld kingpin Makandure Madush and others who are in custody in Dubai will continue to remain in remand custody for another month.
Attorney at law, Shabdika Wellappili who is representing singer Amal Perera and his son Nadeemal Perera said the duo will be produced before the court tomorrow (February 28). Wellappili notes that the order will be issued after the Chief Prosecutor of Dubai considers a request submitted in this regard.
