A brother who visited him was told by police that the ex-LTTE member from Pangulaweli was being detained for rehabilitation, said the ex-MP.
Previously, he had returned safely twice from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Kugadasan joined the LTTE in 2000 and surrendered to the Sittandi military camp in 2006, and went for employment in the Middle East upon being released by the military.
Ariyanendran said he had information that 19 Tamil returnees had been arrested since Maithripala Sirisena took office as the president, jdslanka.org report.
