A detention order has been obtained for 90 days against former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen and his brother Riyaj Bathiudeen to conduct further investigations, police spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said.

He said earlier a 72-hour detention order was obtained by the CID Director as per the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and which was terminated by this morning.

Therefore another detention order was obtained to conduct further investigations.

He said the probing will be conducted by the TID and CID to ascertain scientific, oral, documentary and other technological evidence over the offences of aiding and abetting the suicide bombers.

However, former Minister Bathiudeen and his brother were arrested last Saturday (24) at his Wellawatta residence under the PTA. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Further investigations are OK. But after more than 2 years and also with a long Presidential Inquiry, this is getting too much.

This time, don't release them on bail. They are the real culprits of the Easter Sunday Attacks.

Both of them earned in billions illegally on drug business too. CID should investigate on this in addition to the Easter incident.

There is no investigation in the entire world such as in Sri Lanka.

This is all nonsense. They were previously arrested investigated and released. Now taken in again. This is political vengeance or a threat to get vote in Parliament for the Port City Bill

This is normal in our system. Arrest first and search for reasons for the arrest. 90 days or more will be required to create the necessary evidence.
