    These arrests would not have happened during the previous regime.

    Absolutely true, in fact the bus driver would be missing by now.

    These arrests happened because there was video evidence and were circulated already. However; they will come out in bail easily as we have a special/lenient law for politicos and their henchmen

    Now justice is prevailing ,their supporters must shut their mouth and wait.Kaduwela magistrate always does his job well he must be made the President or Prime Minister of this country

    It's not a 9mm pistol. It's a 38 or similar revolver. A sidearm probably issued to a cop.

    Now MR and JO Co.will visit Kasun and wife in the remand cell and promise to provide the best lawyer for them.

    Sunil Tuesday, 13 March 2018 01:12 PM

    Very glad to see justice being meted out.

    Ronnie Bugger Tuesday, 13 March 2018 01:14 PM

    Two questions that may hinge on my ignorance - 1) are they given the special treatment in remand prison and, are they put together. If this the case then might as well release them.

    Enough for once the police had acted instead of being a silent onlooker awaiting orders from the top!!!

    Ram Tuesday, 13 March 2018 01:41 PM

    Hope this will end in a conviction. Driver must not accept money and settle

    Sanath Tuesday, 13 March 2018 01:44 PM

    Maximum punishment must be imposed.

    Well, these two thugs had a license on their pistol?Revoke their post after the verdict. (Hoping good one).The witness should be protected.

    Hawk Wednesday, 14 March 2018 05:25 PM

    How these people become PC members..it's because we elect them. It's not entirely our fault , it's the party who let them represent them is also in fault. Will the party sack home?
