MARK COLVIN: An Australian man who was allegedly kidnapped by secret police in Sri Lanka is now on a plane back to Australia.

Family and supporters of Premakumar Gunaratnam feared for his safety after he disappeared in Sri Lanka some days ago.

Mr Gunaratnam mysteriously reappeared today, only to be put on a plane back to Australia by the Sri Lankan government. He's travelling back on a passport with the name Noel Mudalige.

The Sri Lankan High Commission in Canberra has rejected the kidnapping claims and says the Australian Government should now investigate his past in Sri Lanka.
