Buttala, April 5 (Daily Mirror) - A former Chief Inspector of Police has been arrested for allegedly pelting stones at a hotel in Buttala, where the spouse of the Ambassador to Japan was staying last night.
Mariko Mizukoshi, the Ambassador's wife, informed the hotel owner in writing about the incident, prompting the hotel management to lodge a complaint with the Buttala Police.
According to Mizukoshi, she stayed at the hotel on Thursday (04) after travelling from Colombo to attend an official ceremony at the Little Tree Special Needs Children's Centre in the area.
"Somebody threw several stones toward the big window of the wedding hall last night, causing devastating damage to the hotel. As a hotel guest, I was really scared about what happened. Japanese visitors, supporters, and officials from the Japanese Government will all feel scared and anxious if such a thing happens again, as we sometimes come here and stay to visit the Little Tree," she said.
Mizukoshi said she was informed that a former Police officer named M.L.D. Ranjan, who lives next door to the hotel, had pelted the stones.
Accordingly, the suspect, identified as the former Chief Inspector, was arrested.
The Buttala Police told the Daily Mirror that the suspect will be produced before the Wellawaya Magistrate's Court.
It has been reported that the suspect was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.

Thank you Ambassador, you have done some thing that none of the Ponnaya's in this country will dare do against a State Official.

Utter rubbish. Always there are so many news about complaints and legal proceedings going against govt officials. Besides, this is not a person presently in service, but a retired person.

This is a part of Sri Lanka's 2500 years noble culture. The gentlemanly former police officer will be a hero in the eyes of people.

You have got all twisted. If you had let 2500 year old culture to go on, there wouldn't have been anyone doing things like that under the influence of alcohol.

What a good way to promote tourism. How can you expect Japanese tourist to Sri Lanka.

A stringent law should be enacted to provide maximum punishment especially for stone pelting incidents.

Just because one is retired from the police the dignity of the office should be maintained.

One needs to realize that all glory is gone once you retire. You are just another person of person watching the sun go down! Sadly most people find it difficult to accept it, especially in developing countries!

Sri Lankan men don't touch or rape women when they get too excited they only pelt stones at them. That's why Sri Lanka is a safe place especially for foreign women to walk alone in the dark at night.
