Why And How Danushka Gunathilaka Got Bail Even After The Sexual Assault Charges?

After being in controversies for a couple of weeks, finally the Sri Lankan batter Danushka Gunathilaka has got a bit of relief in the case of sexual assault against him. He has been granted bail by the local court and at the request of the Sri Lankan government and for the same, the Lankan government has paid $150,000 for his bail.

Gunathilaka was arrested by the Australian police on November 6 from the Hyatt Regency Hotel which is on Sussex street. The cricketer was sacked due to the charges of sexual assault against him. After the elimination from the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 when the Sri Lankan team left for their home country, Gunathilaka remained there under the custody. According to reports, the cricketer’s lawyer Murugan Thangaraj submitted an application after which Gunathilaka was granted bail from the court of New South Wales. After receiving bail from the court, Thangaraj said,” Gunathilaka was being supported by a Sri Lankan cricket association and [the] Sri Lankan government and If he breaches his bail, of course, his career would be over.”

Thangaraj said, “We know, in the complainant’s case, there was consensual oral sex and consensual vaginal intercourse before any problem arose on her version. It is not a strong prosecution case. Because they have found the social media of the complainant, why should that be held against him? It’s totally irrelevant in respect of bail.”
