Popular astrologer Indika Thotawaththa has been arrested and remanded for making statements which could threaten harmony among ethnic and religious groups in Sri Lanka.
Thotawaththa was arrested based on a complaint made with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). The astrologer had made comments critical of Islam.
The CID had summoned the astrologer to record a statement over the complaint.
The astrologer had told reporters outside the CID Headquarters that he has a right to be critical about any religion.
He was arrested after a statement was recorded and was later produced in court and remanded until 20 October. (Colombo Gazette)
