The police said it had received a complaint from the army stating that former Army Chief General Sarath Fonseka was harboring a group of army deserters at his official residence. Police media spokesman SSP I.M Karunaratne said two police constables had visited the house in Colombo together with the Military Police to investigate the claims but had returned as the house was closed.
