Colombo: Sri Lanka's most-wanted man has been arrested in Indonesia and will be extradited to face charges including gunning down a rival inside a court, officials said Thursday.
Public Security Ministry Secretary Ravi Seneviratne said Indonesian police had detained six Sri Lankans linked to several murders and organised drug-related crimes.
"This is the first time we have had such a large number of suspects arrested abroad," Seneviratne told AFP.
The five men and a woman were arrested after a joint operation in Indonesia, Police Inspector-General Priyantha Weerasooriya said, adding Indian intelligence forces also took part.
All six were the subject of Interpol red notices.
