Serious allegations have been made against Jeyakanth Selvarajah, a church planter and evangelist in Sri Lanka who has been supported for many years by numerous evangelical churches in the UK.

A report published following an independent investigation accuses him of committing gross misconduct. Jeyakanth, however, strongly denies and refutes these allegations, calling them ‘slanderous and potentially libelous’.

The report detailing the accusations was written by two pastors: David Cooke, who is also a chartered accountant, and Mark Mullins, who is also a criminal law barrister. They both visited Sri Lanka to investigate the allegations and interview witnesses.
