Senior members of the former government had dumped the state-owned cars and SUVs without a proper handover, according to Wasantha Samarasinghe, a member of Anura Kumara Dissanayake's JVP party.

The fleet includes four-wheeldrive Toyota Land Cruisers and utility vehicles.

"We have launched an investigation into who abandoned these vehicles and on what authority they used them," Samarasinghe told reporters at a public park where the vehicles had been left.
