The Bodu Bala Sena organization staged a protest in front of the Piliyandala Police station this morning, urging the release of two individuals who were arrested by the Police.

According to the Bodu Bala Sena, they had taken a person who was allegedly involved in coversions and handed over to the Dehiwala Police. They said that the person was taken into their custody after the parents of a youth in the area had complained that their son was converted by him.

The Police had later released the person after bringing the two parties together and settling the matter.  

Thereafter acting on a complaint by the family members of the released person, seven persons had been arrested by police on the charge of abducting him. Among the seven arrested and remanded are the parents of the youth who had allegedly been converted earlier.

The protest had been staged urging the police to release the seven persons who were arrested and two in remand custody. (Muditha Dayananda)
