The Southern Provincial Council’s Vice Chairman Sampath Atukorale was today remanded till October 5 by Colombo Magistrate on a complaint of allegedly uploading pictures of President Maithripala Sirisena to his Facebook page and Facebook pages of others as well.

The CID filing the report said that the offense was committed during December 2014 just before the Presidential Election, when Maithripala Sirisena was the Minister of Health.

They said the suspect had connived with the first suspect Sujith Nilantha, who had doctored the defamatory photographs of the President to the Facebook accounts.

Nilantha was earlier produced in court and released on bail.(Farook Thajudeen)
