    Now you know who should be chased in to the sea and battered till they drown!

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:21 AM

    this is not surprising...expect the expected.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:44 AM

    dear public hammer these basrerds

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 11:44 AM

    The right punishment should be given to these idiots for their dirty act. Even our dogs won't act like this chee...chekaya...

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 11:48 AM

    These cops deserves severe punishment. IGP we have seen your guys are always intoxigated during duty hours with the uniform. Please keep a fullstop for this in order to keep your levels and reputations.

    See for an example how our Rtd. Gen. SF kept his man in tact. Do you want to have some lessons (classes) from him.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 11:53 AM

    Mr. Daya Fernando, please don't expect discipline from the Policemen, they are indecent creatures from wilderness. Only Rajapakshe likes the Police Department . You should admire on our Major General SF, he kept his men well under control.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 11:53 AM

    Our cops are the best in the world.Our cop's wives can dance on Information technology student's belly...

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 12:00 PM

    Yes Sarth, you are correct. We cannot tolerate this type of brutal acts. Public has to take the law into their hands when things happening like this next.

    If we teach a good lesson to Policemen who are intoxigated, Hammer....Hammer...and Hammer wihout mercy.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 12:08 PM

    Exactly, the hypocrisies of our institutions are constantly exposed. These animals should be made an example of....one can only hope that they'd be punished severely.

    WHAT WAS THIS ?LADY DOING ON THE BEACH ALONE AT NIGHT

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:12 AM

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 01:53 PM

    true..true..

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 02:13 PM

    PeterK

    Why can't anybody go to beach alone any time of the day? It's their freedom. As long as she didn't do any harm to any one but if she was under infulence of liqure, she invited trouble.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 02:22 PM

    REAL FUNNY COUNTRY SRI LANKA HAS TURNED OUT TO BE

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:10 PM

    A RESULT OF UNQUALIFIED SL POLICE OFFICERS!

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:43 PM

    ... Can you ask the so-called 'patriots' to protect against these culprits.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:47 AM

    why not charge the lady and release the cops and give them promotions.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 06:30 AM

    Guardians of Law or lawless devils? We are now reaping the results of politicising of the police and armed forces by this government. We are unfortunately living in a country where protection and security is only provided to the politicians who are really the scum of the earth and not worth protecting at all.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 06:31 AM

    Hmmm! do I see some changes?

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 06:39 AM

    Must bring the rascals to Galle Face and cut off their .......... like they do in Saudi.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 06:52 AM

    Abolish the Police Dept. and let the army take over the duties.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:00 AM

    Punish them severly

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:03 AM

    very good, the cops arte being arrested by the cops, what shame to sri lanka, where is the law? when cops does this who is there to look after the innocent females?

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:06 AM

    Why was the Lady produced before the JMO? Was she too was under the influence or was she in the pay of the cops?

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:41 AM

    And then molested by the JMO also. What a country we are living in.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 06:20 AM

    Finally some action.....

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 07:56 AM

    This country will seriously do well without COPS and Politicians...!!!

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 08:00 AM

    Anay Copsla Sweet anay.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 08:23 AM

    Discipline? When corrupt political henchmen creep in to the Forces what can you expect other than these incidents.

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 08:36 AM

    Produced before the JMO? Why not produced before the Magistrate for molesting.Liquor comes 2nd." whitewash"

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 09:09 AM

    anyone who do crimes should be punished...

    Please dont comment stating due to absense of SF only these are happenings..

    These crimes are common in any country and punishment should be gioven...

    dont blame enite police or leaders or nation

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 09:43 AM

    We need to introduce caning like in Singapore. A mere rap on the knuckles saying they were naughty boys is far too lenient.

    Any bets on if they will ever see the inside of a prison?

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 09:56 AM

    Our Police force showing off their true sri lankan colors! Hope they will be booked for this outrageous crime!

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:09 AM

    Under the influence of liquor: How they are going to eradicate intoxication to the last drop- mathata thithata- programme? I think there should be a special squad of teetotallers, non smokers and married with kids gentlemen in the police dept. chosen by religious heads of the region!
