It has been reported that this individual was arrested with a number of detonators during a search operation on the night of 29 April. Even though this individual, Mohamed Zanus, was a former Member with Mantai West PS representing ACMC, he is not affiliated with ACMC anymore after he resigned voluntarily. The two officially appointed Coordinating Secretaries of Minister Bathiudeen at present are Jailabdeen Mohammed Naleem and Irshad Rahmathulla. They both attend to their duties regularly at the Ministry offices, Colombo 3, and not in Mannar.
