Residents of the area yesterday staged a protest compelling the authorities to hold a formal investigation into the death of a 16 year old girl at former Minister Rishan Badiudeen’s residence who had died of serious burn injuries. The victim J.Ishalini was a resident of Diagama West in Agarapathana

The protest organised by the Kandurata Janatha Peramuna in front of the clock tower in Hatton was led by the Nuwara Eliya district Jathika Samagi Balavegaya Parliamentarian and leader of the Kandurata Janatha Peramuna V.Radha Krishnan .

The 16 year old girl J.Ishalini had found employment in the former minister’s residence at Bauddhaloka Mawatha Colombo through an individual from Diagama. She had received serious burn injuries on July 03 and sucumbed to her injuries on July 15 at the hospital.

However, the JMO of the Borella hospital who performed the postmortem examination had reported that she had been raped.

The protestors including Parliamentarian Radha Krishnan pointed out that in view of the postmortem report the authorities should hold a formal inquiry and arrest the individuals who raped the girl. He stressed that responsibility of the authorities was to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents to provide protection to the hundreds of estate sector children employed in Colombo and several other areas.(Ranjith Rajapakse and Manura Sellahewa)

    There are many young Tamil girls and boys in employment in Colombo, living in boarding houses under severe hardships. More employment opportunities should be made available for these young adults NOT to leave their hometowns. Coming to Colombo is certainly not heavenly for them!!

    AN UNBIASED INQUIRY SHOULD BE HELD IMMEDIATELY AND THE CULPRITS PUNISHED. ALSO, WE HAVE TO REMIND A GOOD INQUIRY INTO THE DEATH OF A BOY AT WIMALS HOUSE A FEW YEARS AGO

    Do the DNA testing and apprehend the culprit and give life sentence.

    This case could have been fabricated to divert the attention but still Rishad is wrong. He could have had better plans, before coming to politics using religion. This guy Rishad is a trump card for this Rajapaksha government. He should get out of this country for the good of his community people.

    Don’t get court ,these are all tactics by the government and it’s cronies to divert attention of the masses from the burning issues, faced by them.

    how come the JMO decides it's rape? can't be happened with the girls consent?

    Emmanuel Monday, 19 July 2021 09:54 AM

    Ohh, he has had all the credits to join the Gov.

    Hondha Hitha Monday, 19 July 2021 09:59 AM

    No problem Badiudeen. Even if you loose your Parliamentary seat, Gota will give you a chairman post in a government institution

    Sunil Monday, 19 July 2021 10:04 AM

    To say the least these acts are horrendous. Bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible.

    Sachith Monday, 19 July 2021 10:12 AM

    If evidences are strong, Badiudeen will switch the sides and will become a good boy like Duminda.

    It is a time of sympathizing with all parties concerned and not to dilute the investigations without preconceived opinions

    angali Monday, 19 July 2021 11:11 AM

    Is police not investigating the peoples who is in the Residence when arresting a person who is involving a terrorist activities? normally they do. If so at the time don't they find that he is appointed child ?

    Murshid Idroos Monday, 19 July 2021 11:37 AM

    A thorough impartial sans all barriers busting investigation needs to be unleashed to uncover even the fakes

    Jehan Monday, 19 July 2021 12:21 PM

    Eye wash, this government is good at it.

    Gamarala Friday, 23 July 2021 07:13 AM

    Nothing will happen everything will be swept under the rug and it will be 'business as usual'.

    Poverty and lack of opportunities in the country is the cause of poor children being sent to Colombo homes as servants. They toil 7 days a week at all hours of the day and night. There are no set hours Its time domestic servants a banned in homes. The Police are the worst culprits. They employ underage children as servants in their homes paying them hardly anything for their servitude.

    Gamarala Friday, 23 July 2021 07:22 AM

    Talk of Slavery in other countries. The Sri Lankan servants are really slaves, they work from dawn to dusk every day of the year, they have no days off nor hours set, it's 24/7 servitude. It's time the authorities look into this form of 21st-century slavery taking place in most homes in Sri Lanka. This is a fact.
