I want to download source for suricata package

I do add following repo

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oisf/suricata-stable

If I install package I get latest version

$ suricata -V
This is Suricata version 6.0.4 RELEASE

But when I try downloading source

$ apt source suricata

I get old version.

Is there a way to fetch source from newly added repo?

I did look into the git repo already, but I am more interested in the actual command of apt source or something similar.

This line:

will tell you from where the package has been downloaded, it is from universe repository.

You need to enable the source package for the added PPA:

echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/oisf/suricata-stable/ubuntu bionic main" |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oisf-suricata-stable-bionic.list
sudo apt update
apt source suricata
