Police claim student’s injuries were self-inflicted



The police said today the injuries suffered by the first-year student of the Sabaragamuwa University by some unidentified people were found to have been self-inflicted.

Police said the complaint consisted of several contradictions when compared with the statements made by the University’s security guards.
