Case against Malaka, six others referred to AG



The case against Minister Mervyn Silva’s son Malaka and six others who are alleged to have assaulted an Army Major has been referred to the Attorney General for his advice, the Kompanna Veediya police informed Court today.

Kompanna Veediya OIC told court that extracts of the investigation report had been referred to the Attorney General on the instruction of Western Province Senior DIG Anura Senanayake.

The seven suspects -- Malaka Silva, the late Minister Mano Wijertane’s son Rehan, Nalinda Janaka, Nilu Aravinda, Suresh Pushpakumara, Sarath Upali, Rumesh Sathyajith -- were present in Court when the case was taken up before Colombo Fort Magistrate Kanishka Wijeratne.

However, on September 17 in an affidavit filed in Court the complainant said Malaka and Rehan did not assault him and he was prepared to arrive at an amicable settlement.

Further magisterial inquiry was postponed for March 11. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
