Producing the suspect before Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage, the Kollupitiya police stated that the suspect had watched the semi-finals match of the ICC World T20 Championships through a giant screen put up at the Liberty Plaza building in Kollupitiya and on being overjoyed at the Sri Lankan team’s victory, he had celebrated it in an unruly manner.

Police further informed that the suspect was behaving in an indecent manner under the influence of liquor at the premises of a leading school in Kollupitiya.

The suspect, a resident of Mount Lavinia pleaded guilty to the charges and thereby was ordered to pay the fine of Rs. 2,500. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
