Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in a secret report to Colombo magistrate court said that Nandavanam Jegatheeswaran was arrested in Kandy on 30 June.

The suspect, who has arrived from UK, has provided British Channel4 television false video clips implicating Sri Lanka military in war crimes, police said.

The police were granted permission by the court to detain and question the suspect for 90-day period.
