Manjot Kalra and Yuvraj Pushpa, linked to a match-fixing case involving Sri Lanka’s Colombo courts, seek early bail after being remanded in custody. NDTV reports that both men were taken into custody on July 17 and remanded until July 31. They appear before Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama to request release before the remand period ends. According to the report, the court denies bail, meaning the two accused remain in custody while the case proceeds.
The reporting also identifies Kalra as the U19 World Cup final MVP, a label used in the coverage while describing his involvement in the matter. The sources presented do not provide further details on the allegations beyond the fact that the men are connected to the match-fixing case and that they are currently under judicial custody.
The case remains pending, with the next steps expected to follow the schedule set by the court.
