The IP who was riding a motorcycle had been knocked down by a defender (WP FZ—9143) followed by a Prado. The injured was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital.
Police said the defender that fled the scene was later found from a house at Pelawatte in Battaramulla.

Now please indict all these criminals and give them the most severe punishment such as 5-10 years RI, OR at least a lengthy Jail term without parole, that is available in Sri Lanka for their brainless act. THAT will be the ONLY language these 'crims' will understand. MM
