13 August 2013 05:20 pm

The CID informed Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishanth Pieris that the International Crime Branch of the Manchester Police was on the lookout to arrest the man who invaded the Cardiff Cricket Grounds in Britain.

He was seen running round the grounds carrying a Tiger flag during the 2nd semifinals between Sri Lanka and India in ICC Champions Trophy
The CID said they were unable to complete the investigations as the main suspect Logeswaran Manimaran was evading police.

The CID asked for more time to complete their investigations and requested that the other two suspects Ananda Ruban Kuladeepam and Balasubramanium Udyanan be further remanded.

The CID initiated investigations on a complaint made by the Hatton National Bank over fraudulent withdrawal of more than Rs.3 billion from the bank ATMs by using forged ATM cards. The suspects were later identified from the visuals of the CCTV cameras.

The two suspects were further remanded. (T. Farook Thajudeen)
