Sri Lanka Police arrested Ramubkwella on Nawal Road in Colombo on charges of assault and drunk driving, reported ESPNCricinfo. He will be produced in the Aluthkade Magistrate court on Saturday.

The Sri Lankan Cricket Borad has made it clear, that if the charges against Rambukwella are proven then he will face dire consequences.
