A 43-year-old woman was arrested for making defamatory remarks against Colombo Archbishop Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith in a video uploaded to social media, Police Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said.
The suspect was arrested in Battaramulla. He said the video also contained content that arouse hatred between Buddhist and Catholic communities.
“She is to be produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate tomorrow,” DIG Rohana said.
