The Archaeology Department will give a statement to the Police tomorrow on defamatory comments made by YouTuber Sepal Amarasinghe regarding the Dalada Maligawa, Director General Anura Manatunge told the Sunday Times.
Mr. Amarasinghe was arrested by the CID on Thursday and produced before Colombo’s Additional Magistrate on Friday. He was remanded until January 10.
The arrest follows a police complaint from the Archaeology Department which says that under the Antiquities Ordinance, “insulting an archaeological monument is similar to causing damage to an archaeological monument”.
Prof. Manatunga said that in the statement to the police, department officials would explain the Ordinance and its violation.
