Kanagaratnam was arrested on May 21 after arriving in the government controlled
areas from the safe zone along with thousands of civilians following the end of
the battle between the LTTE and the security forces.
CID officers said that the parliamentarian is found to have violated several
laws under the emergency regulations and therefore requested for permission to
hold him in custody for another 90 days for interrogation.
Following the CID request, the Magistrate granted permission to hold the
parliamentarian after a personal inspection.
