NEW DELHI: In an embarrassing incident, two Sri Lanka Under-19 men’s cricketers have been arrested over allegations of filming people bathing inside a hotel in Colombo. The incident reportedly took place at a hotel in Narahenpita where the players were staying, according to ESPNcricinfo.
The cricketers were taken into custody earlier this week after women staying at the hotel complained that they were being filmed on mobile phones while inside their bathrooms. As per reports, both players have since been released on personal bail of LKR 500,000 (approximately $1,564).
Police Investigation
Police in Narahenpita are currently investigating whether any of the alleged videos were shared online. The players were produced before the Aluthkade Magistrate's Court for their initial hearing and are scheduled to appear again on May 25.
Disciplinary Action from Sri Lanka Cricket
Sri Lanka Cricket has not yet announced any disciplinary action against the two players. The board itself has been undergoing changes over the past 48 hours, with the removal of its previous office bearers and the appointment of a Transformation Committee.
