The youth was produced before the Kegalle Magistrate’s Court this afternoon.

Acting Magistrate Malcolm Machado ordered that the suspect be released on two personal bails of Rs. 100,000 each.

However, the youth was remanded for failing to meet the relevant bail conditions.

The young man who was with the police during the Rambukkana incident has caused a great deal of controversy in recent days.

That was when the video of him coming to the burning oil bowser, removing a piece of twig that was stuck in it and returning was also published in the video media.

Various reports were published on social media this morning that the youth had been abducted by an unknown group while he was at home.

When we inquired about this from the Rambukkana and Kegalle police stations this morning, they stated that no such incident had been reported.

However, we went to the house of the youth concerned, Rambukkana, Pinnawalawatta, Dharmapala Mawatha and inquired about it.

The mother and father of 28 year old Indika Prasad said that the police had come and taken him away.

Later they had gone to the Rambukkana police to lodge a complaint.

Meanwhile, the Police Media Division later issued a statement regarding the incident stating that the CID has arrested a suspect who was involved in the protest and was a member of an unruly mob.
