Police Headquarters noted that there is an ongoing investigation on the assault on Malaka Silva- son of Minister Mervyn Silva by twelve men even there is no complaint lodged by their party.

The Colombo Crime Division (CCD) and the Cinnamon Garden police are investigating into the attack on Malaka.

“When we receive ‘first hand information’ we go to the scene soon as possible and start our investigations,” police spokesman Buddhika Siriwardena said.

“That is what the police will do. But when we have received first information from public even there is no complaint we start our investigations,” he said.

“We still do not know the people who are involved in this,” SP Siriwardena added.

Investigators have recorded statements from the eyewitnesses and now in the process of examining the CCTV camera footages as well.

However in the aftermath of the incident Minister Silva told the media that he will resolve the case in his own way.

The police emergency received a 119 call from an eyewitness to the incident which took place on Monday evening. He got admitted to the Nawaloka Hospital. He had a tiny cut near his right eye due to the brawl.

Minister Mervyn Silva charged that the 12 men had attempted to abduct his son and he does not know why they did that.(Supun Dias)

Ajantha Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:02 AM

12 men assaulted him. The incident was said to happen in a flash. Still the victim could count the number of people involved. LOL.

Sonali de Silva Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:00 AM

Funny, people don't try to abduct our children. His son must be very valuable.

DR .MERVIN TOLD HE WILL INVESTIGATE THE MATTER

Suq Madique Wednesday, 31 July 2013 01:36 AM

What if malaka's victims also took the law into their own hands?

Cobra Wednesday, 31 July 2013 01:26 AM

They are probably investigating their own handy work!!!

Leonard Wednesday, 31 July 2013 01:26 AM

If an ordinary citizen gets assaulted and no complaint is made, will the police investigate ? I seriously doubt it.

Premalal Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:02 PM

With such an efficient police service I don't know why so many people like those from Deraniyagala complain?

Justice seeker Tuesday, 30 July 2013 11:49 PM

Why waster public money if no one has complained ??

Kudda Tuesday, 30 July 2013 11:24 PM

a failed cownap attempt

Sujee Tuesday, 30 July 2013 09:49 PM

Other times, Police say they can not investigate without a complaint. What policy that?

Appuhamy Tuesday, 30 July 2013 09:32 PM

When you live by violence, you face violence! Its this brat's turn to face violence now!

Dot Tuesday, 30 July 2013 08:11 PM

Oh dear a very un SriLankan Father who did not rush to the scene of the accident , nor to the hospital .more so a Minister of the State . . Are we changing that fast ? Only the public were worried and may be the Odel Workers .... Poor Boy indeed so much alone !

Ravi John Tuesday, 30 July 2013 07:13 PM

Why Police investigation ? Its a simple case Malaka hit and stab himself case closed why waste time ivestigating this DRAMA

Lion King Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:42 PM

Haven't we heard the usual excuse before, that the police haven't received a complaint to start an investigation? In Sri Lanka it seems the law applies differently to different people?

Sri 4 ever Wednesday, 31 July 2013 12:00 AM

it seems like very good drama ..by political director..unedited yet via DM Android App

boraluwa Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:24 PM

Sounds increasingly like a staged drama when 12 army men only leave a tiny cut. Wonder why police don't investigate other crimes when victims don't press charges. Did they ever check CCTV footage when Malaka assaulted the army major?

Namal Perera Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:19 PM

Why waste time and money? In this corrupt, lawless Banana Republic we strongly believe he assaulted himself.

Vijay Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:03 PM

is it case of Malaka assaulting himself!
