Uva Province Chief Minister Chamara Sampath Dassanayake surrendered to the Badulla Police this morning in connection with a incident in which he was accused of forcing a lady Principal kneel in front of him.

Police Spokesman SP Ruwan Gunasekera said the Chief Minister surrendered through a lawyer.

SP Gunasekera said Dassanayake would be produced in the Badulla Magistrate’s Court today.

The Badulla Police commenced investigations after the female principal of a Tamil Girls’ School in Badulla lodged a complaint with the Police that she was forced to kneel because she had refused to enroll a student recommended by the Chief Minister.(Dashana Sanjeewa)
