According to reports in the English language Sinhala press, the editor, was interrogated over an article published regarding the Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya.

A spokesperson for the Sri Lankan police, Ajith Rohana said a special CID team from Colombo, had been drafted in to record a statement from Premanand regarding the story.

It remains unclear exactly which article the CID took such interest in, however, on July 18, an article

was published reporting on a recent interview given by Jayasuriya where he had asserted that protecting the president was the most important duty of the Sri Lankan Army.
