The CID informed the Colombo Court Magistrate today that it had obtained the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses used by Dhanuna Thilakaranthna and were trying to trace his whereabouts through this information.

Submitting a report in court, the CID informed the Magistrate that the IP addresses which were used by Dhanuna belonged to a United States based Internet Service Provider (ISP).

The CID further informed court to issue an order to the Director General of the Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (TRC) to obtain details from the local ISP’s about the subscriber through whose account Dhanuna had accessed the internet.

Having considered the submissions, Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne ordered the TRC Director General to submit the necessary details.
