Police said he arrived at the Badulla Police Station this morning and was arrested after providing a statement.
A tense situation unfolded in Badulla on November 11 when police attempted to stop political campaigning by Fernando’s supporters. The supporters were seen wearing t-shirts resembling the jersey of international footballer Lionel Messi, featuring the number '10'.
Police, along with Election Commission officials, intervened and asked Fernando’s supporters to remove the t-shirts, stating that they were considered an indirect form of campaigning.
He will be produced before the Badulla Magistrate's Court.
