Sialkot police on Friday claimed to have arrested 33 more primary suspects involved in the lynching of 49-year-old Sri Lankan factory manager Priyantha Kumara in the city.

A mob comprising hundreds of protesters, including the employees of the factory Kumara was the manager of, had tortured him to death on December 3 and later burnt his body.

The brutal killing drew widespread condemnation from political circles and human rights bodies.

A first information report was registered against 900 workers of Rajco Industries on the application of Uggoki Station House Officer Armaghan Maqt under sections 302, 297, 201, 427, 431, 157, 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code and 7 and 11WW of the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Investigator Tariq Mahmood, in a statement, said the 33 suspects will be presented in the anti-terrorism court Gujranwala today. He said the remand of 52 suspects had already been obtained from the court.

As many as 85 suspects have been arrested in connection with the case so far, he added.

Just a show. The end result will be after sometime all these terrorist will be released and we will not even know about it. We all know how Khan came into power. It was with these groups and that is why the cornered a man in broad day burnt him to death. Dear Sri Lankans, do not expect much from these cases and arrests.
