The father of the girl who was with her at the time and the suspect had also received burn injuries in the incident .

The injured girl, her father and the young man were admitted to Kegalle general hospital.

Investigations revealed that the schoolgirl was on her way to the examination center in her father’s trishaw when the young man, allegedly, her lover riding on a motorcycle obstructed their way, held the girl by the neck and attempted to make her drink the acid. 

The 21 year old girl was a resident of Udumagama in Kegalle and the young man is from Kegalle town.

The girl’s mother told police that her daughter had been in love with the young man and that the parents of the two parties had consented to it but he had repeatedly warned the girl not to pursue further studies.

She stated that the daughter who could not tolerate his undue interference had decided to give up her relations with him.

    Hope this medieval piece of shit receives a lengthy sentence and a hefty fine to pay towards the girl and her family.

    Sounds like a Taliban guy. They want women to be illiterate and use them for their sexual acts tand make more children as long as women are attractive to them.

    What a shame another young girl has felt the wrought of a boy who could not take up rejection. I pray the girl survives and goes back to studies and does well in life. As for the boy, he should be put in jail for a good period of time, so the girl can recover and get back to her studies.

    The entire country needs to be exorcised from the Demons who are running free.

    Problem is girls are getting educated, the boys are not getting educated, this has led to a sort of boys despising women in general, it’s like anti feminist cult. In west and America it’s getting common, world issues normally come to SL. I think this trend has to be studied, and given a solution. Andrew rate was most probably there representative, it’s a social phenomenon.

    It appears Sri Lanka is following the Afghanistan model.

    Premarital affairs and exmarital affairs are prohibited in Islam because these rela tionships are not built with social support and responsibilities. Mostly irresponsible young girls fall for sexual stimulation thinking it is love. It is dangerous for girls to be involved in affairs before a properly arranged marriage....impactsrilanka@yahoo.com

    He deserves a thorough beating.. with a permanent head injury!

    IF there were to be legal extermination of certain offenders, cases like this must be at the forefront. How can you allow a psycho with a Talibanistic mindset allowed to live on even within 4 walls? Until that day dawns, this little dirt should be gaoled till death.
