A policeman who attempted to prevent a foreign woman being sexually harassed by three youth was allegedly assaulted by them in front of the Kandy DIG’s office, police said.

The injured police sergeant was admitted to the Kandy General Hospital.

He was on duty at the DIG’s office when he had noticed the three youth sexually harassing the foreign woman. The miscreants had pounced on the police sergeant when he came up to them and attempted to save the helpless woman from their clutches.

Police said the suspects who appeared drunk had boasted that they were close associates of an MP from the Kandy District.

The three youth were arrested will be produced in courts soon. (Shane Seneviratne and J.A.L. Jayasinghe)

    Our sri lankans are sex starved for foreigners! They don't get enough locally.

    Cobra Saturday, 02 November 2013 02:00 PM

    To be able to do this with impunity and opposite the DIG's office, they have to have some sort of relationship with some minister or other!!!

    Kandy Boy Saturday, 02 November 2013 01:28 PM

    Where are we heading, from the President to Minsters and parliamentarian all are secured by taxing poor people & giving back with this type of security to the people who voted for them through their body guards.
    We are not with out a incident like this every day. Only we can prey for some miracle.
    Oh God please save us punish the culprit before long.

    some of those who challenge senior police officers when attempting to prevent illegal meetings etc (as seen through media) are indirectly responsible too cultivating this sort of culture.

    The Police Department is completely functioned by the President, isn't it? If it is so, serious problem. One brother is in charge of the powerful forces, while the president brother looks after the Police. What a wonderful country in Asia?

    This is the end result of Police being over submissive to the politicians in order to curry favour.
