The police were on his tracks for sometime and in the meantime about a month before this when he had molested a lady and was fleeing from the scene his figure was captured on a CCTV camera at a house closeby. Accordingly when police inquired further it was found that he was a boarder in a house in that vicinity and that he was employed as a cook at a hotel in Pelawatta area, Thalawathugoda where he was working during daytime and also that he had engaged in this 'game' during the nights as a pastime.
After being apprehended and further investigations carried out it was revealed that he was a 29 year old youth who had made Medirigiriya his hometown. When interrogated he had admitted that he had been involved in this 'game' for sometime in the nights and that he desires women's lingerie or underwear.
