A Sri Lankan man who had allegedly trespassed into a room at Cinnamon Grand Hotel where the Australian cricket team, participating in ICC World T20 2012, was staying had been arrested by police and probes are underway to determine whether he came there for a match-fixing deal or to cause harm.

In a complaint to the police, a security supervisor of the hotel had told that the Australian cricketers who are participating in ICC World T20 were staying in two rooms at the eighth floor of the hotel. He alleged that a person who trespassed into one of the hotel rooms had queried the cricketers “Do you wanna have some fun?”

When the suspect was produced before a Colombo Court, he was ordered to be released on a surety of Rs.50, 000. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
