A police officer who issued a charge sheet to a Deputy Minister on the Southern Expressway on May 20 was reported to have been assaulted by a group of men at the 20 acre area in Bombuwala near the Dodangoda entry point last night while he was driving to work.

The police officer was attached to the Kottawa Expressway police unit and was on his way for duty in his car when the incident occurred.

Police said his car had been blocked by a group of men who arrived in a cab and assaulted him after dragging him out of the car. His car was also set on fire by them.

The police officer was admitted to the Nagoda Hospital.(Sunil Katriarachchi)

IGP is most respected officer in his service. politicians & politicized administration officers are playing the foul game. Police administration not under his administration.Good example is police spokesman.

Prometheus Saturday, 31 May 2014 03:35 PM

At least its good to see a police officer issuing a charge sheet to a ruling party politico.

mithra Saturday, 31 May 2014 03:36 PM

Do not believe false stories.Wait until the truth comes out from the police spokesman.

Don't be surprised if the victim later denies that he was attacked, just like the army officer (not) attacked by a politico's son a few years ago.

Some time police man have to get this kind of lesson in their life, no doubt all nations will agree on this

Mason Sunday, 01 June 2014 01:41 PM

Good for the Police to learn lessons. After all they were overzelously serving the government politicians more than necessary.
Let it be known that a Politician is only concerned about his pound of flesh and nothing else.

Cobra Sunday, 01 June 2014 02:07 PM

Another case that will never be solved and the culprits brought to book!

janaka Sunday, 01 June 2014 03:31 PM

Good lesson for Police, Very good treatment. Hats off to the DM. and his gang.

Take the Deputy Minister to a lonely spot in search of his gang and do the normal thing.

Jason Saturday, 31 May 2014 12:07 PM

NAME THE DEPUTY MINISTER!

Our ministerial types. We elected them. We have got what we deserve. In UK a Chief Constable equivalent of DIG and Prince Charles too had been tickets for violation of traffic regulations. via DM iPad app

Mr IGP, over to you. You couldn't arrest those who assaulted the UNP MP's; will you turn a blind eye to this one too?

Is it the toy pistol gang ? We are waiting for the Police Media spokesman's statement

bobby Saturday, 31 May 2014 12:11 PM

Will these culprits be taken to show hidden weapons? I think HELL NO LOL

citizen Saturday, 31 May 2014 12:16 PM

the public should not allow this. the public should stone those who assaulted this police officer

Seyed Saturday, 31 May 2014 12:39 PM

Pathetic reporting by DM. Afraid to mention the name of deputy minister. Similarly a news item above says a 'leading school in Kollupitiya' but DM would not name the school. Freedom of expression and modern journalism has developed every where in the world but Sri Lankan journalists are still stuck in 19th centuary.

Public Saturday, 31 May 2014 06:22 PM

This is the minimum respect can be expected by our local Police department.

Our rulers no longer blush at their misdeeds and have lost the capacity for shame.
