In May 1994 he was removed from the office of mayor on corruption charges and was replaced by the deputy mayor, Kanagasabai Ganeshalingam.[5] His subsequent petition to the Court of Appeal was rejected and he followed this with an appeal to the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1997 that his removal was invalid,[6] the order however came a month after the Colombo Municipal Council was dissolved.[7][8]
He died on 12 September 2003, at the age of 57, following a heart attack.[9]
