Colombo, Jan 24 (Daily Mirror) - The psychiatrist who examined the mental health condition of the self-proclaimed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Mahinda Kodithuwakku has recommended further treatment for him at the National Institute of Mental Health in Angoda.

Accordingly, Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage ordered to remand the suspect till February 7.

The suspect Mahinda Kodithuwakku was arrested by the CID for allegedly insulting Buddhism and hurting religious feelings.

Senior Deputy Solicitor General Dileepa Pieris, appearing for the Attorney General, moved court that the suspect be further remanded since he requires further medical treatment for his unstable mental condition.

President's Counsel Kalinga Indatissa appearing for the suspect informed court that there is no ground to refuse bail in terms of Section 14 of the Bail Act and moved court that his client be released on bail on whatever conditions the court deems fit.

However, the Magistrate made an order remanding the suspect till February 7 since his father is not physically capable of looking after the suspect whilst receiving treatment for mental health.

Not only him, all those who claimed to have involved with religion, special powers and God at present as well as in the past need the same treatment.

All his followers too should be sent to Angoda for treatment.
