The Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) is to investigate the clash which took place in Kiribathgoda recently. The Colombo Additional Magistrate, today, ordered that the CCD file a report over the incident in April.


The incident took place on January 03 when some supporters of United National Alliance who assembled near the Buddha Statue at Gala Junction, Kelaniya walked towards Kribathgoda distributing hand bills of opposition candidate General Sarath Fonseka.


A clash ensued with another rival party, who came there from the opposite direction. Several vehicles were damaged in the incident.
