The CID has identified a 15-year-old boy as the one who had sent the controversial message warning Muslims not to attend the Nuwara Eliya Spring Festival saying it would be unsafe for Muslims.

Investigations had revealed that the student studying at a Colombo International school had initially sent the message to one of his relatives not knowing the gravity of what he was doing.

Police said the message was baseless and Muslims, Sinhalese and Tamils were enjoying the festivities in Nuwara Eliya peacefully.

A rumour had been spread that clerics at a Nuwara Eliya mosque had sent a message asking Muslims not to attend Nuwara Eliya Spring Festival.
