On 28 May 2023, Sinhala TV channels reported on the arrest of Nathasha Edirisooriya. The accusation levelled against Edirisooriya was that she insulted Buddhism during a comedy show at which she was performing. A majority of the channels framed their headlines in a manner which showed that the accusations indicate that the alleged offence was committed. These channels were Rupavahini, ITN, Hiru, Swarnawahini, TV Derana and Siyatha. However, Sirasa's headline showed that she had been taken into custody on the suspicion that she was a wrongdoer pertaining to the alleged charge.
