Sri Lankan police arrested a Reuters news agency journalist Thursday while he was covering the aftermath of Easter bombings and remanded him in custody for two weeks on a charge of trespassing, officials said. New Delhi-based photographer Danish Siddiqui was taken into custody in Katana, 45 kilometres (28 miles) north of Colombo, an official said.
He said they took him before a local magistrate who remanded him in custody until May 15. Reuters declined comment.
