The police have apprehended three more individuals over their alleged involvement in the child abduction case in Gampola, police said today.
The suspects have been identified as residents of Kaththankudi, Batticaloa. They will be produced before the Gampola Magistrate this afternoon, police added.
With the latest arrests made, the police have so far nabbed six persons including two women over the incident.
The investigation into the case took a new turn last Thursday after police found that it was child’s uncle who abducted the boy before fleeing the area. However, initial reports suggested that the child and the uncle were abducted while they were on their way home on May 03.
The police found the two-year-old child in Batticaloa on May 06 after a search was launched following a complaint lodged.
