The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court has today directed the IGP to remove Peliyagoda Police Station from the investigation into the alleged assault on law student Migara Gunaratne and direct it to another Special Investigation Unit.
When the case was taken up before Colombo Additional Magistrate Bandara Nelundeniya, President’s Counsel Saliya Peiris who appeared for Migara Gunaratne requested the Court to remove the above investigation from the Peliyagoda Police and referred it to another Special Investigation Unit.
President’s Counsel Tirantha Walaliyadda who appeared for the Police also made the same request and told the Court to hand over the investigation to another unit in order to conduct it impartially and independently.
After considering the facts presented by both parties, the Additional Magistrate ordered the case to be called on March 15.

This is excellent. Whatever happens the culprits MUST be given MAXIMUM punishment. They have not only disgraced the Sri Lanka Police Force but Sri Lanka as a Nation! So they should be found guilty of HIGH TREASON! Already people from all walks of life overseas are asking if it is safe to visit Sri Lanka with the Police behaving like this!! So expect the Tourist influx also to be seriously affected. MM

The above case is a drop in the ocean. Would every victim get justice?
