Former MP and the national organizer of Samagi Vanitha Balavegaya (SVB), Hirunika Premachandra, lodged a complaint with the Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission (SLHRC) that several women in SVB, including her, had been abused during last Wednesday's protest.

She said it had been mentioned in the complaint that when she participated in the protest as the national organizer of SVB, the police officers verbally abused two women who came with her.

"Usually in such protests, there is some pushing and jostling, and it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, they accidentally or unintentionally touch each other. We have our own self-control in such situations, but the policemen behaved the other way," she alleged.

Premachandra also said that she had the video footage as well as the names and numbers of those policemen.

In footage that was released on social media soon after the protest, footage however showed it was Hirunika chasing behind some policemen in an aggressive manner, while the policemen moved away from her. (Indika Sri Aravinda)

It was Hirunika who molested the cops. we saw the video

Policemen worried about their chastity Monday, 07 November 2022 10:14 PM

When Ferdinand Marcos was president of the Philippines, reporters asked him about high incident of rape in that country. Very casually he said, "If you cannot stop it, then lie down and enjoy it." Hirunika found it the hard way; Policemen did not go searching for her, but she went to them. Next, it may the policemen who will go to HRC complaining she and some women came and destroyed their male chastity, they were otherwise pure.

You should have sounded your signature 'scrreeeaaamm'. The police would have run away!

Ram Tuesday, 08 November 2022 01:26 AM

Good complaint but we have to watch how it would be handled

vince Tuesday, 08 November 2022 02:54 AM

Sticking her face and shouting at the police is abuse too. Hope they throw the book at her.

Should Hirunka be charged for abusing the policeman?

Samantha Candappa Tuesday, 08 November 2022 05:33 AM

Selfish,Power greedy,Shameless,attention-seeking,Stupid,Uneducated, low-grade individual with disgraceful upbringing...! Cancer to the Society and Community..!

Sobitha Tuesday, 08 November 2022 06:42 AM

Action must be taken against Policemen for not charging Hirunika for abusing Policemen.

Marapona Tuesday, 08 November 2022 06:46 AM

Someone like Danushka must be sent to tame Hirunika.

Tom Tuesday, 08 November 2022 06:49 AM

The most sordid part of the story is that there are some people still supporting this woman. No wonder we are in the dumps as a nation.

Jayaweera Bandara Tuesday, 08 November 2022 07:07 AM

Hirunika, you are mad street woman, hence please go to a mental health clinic

Suha Tuesday, 08 November 2022 07:21 AM

SHE IS BRING IN SHAME TO WEMANHOOD.NEVER SEEN SUCH A LOW CLASS BEHEVIOUR FROM ANY WEMAN POLITICIAN.SHE IS BRIGING SHAME TO SJB. Policemen should make a complain againt this lady for vurbal abusing them during protest.

Sam Tuesday, 08 November 2022 07:54 AM

Certainly looks clear who the aggressor is in the picture.

Dakshina Dissanayake Tuesday, 08 November 2022 08:06 AM

This should be other way round ,the way Hirunika was charging on Policemen, they were helpless.

Jacoob Inept Tuesday, 08 November 2022 08:48 AM

Try Australian system Madam , our one is inept ..

Nandasena Hora Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:04 AM

Must have been chasing the policemen for a jump and got angry when they said "no".

Be Fair Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:05 AM

I Respect the Police Officers on duty that day. They displayed professionalism and restraint. I think Hirunika was abussive and agressive, unbecoming of what a Politician should be. Well, what can we expect from them anyways

tilak Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:10 AM

Hope some police men will file a complaint against her for being abused by Hirunika

Depressed citizen Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:13 AM

Oh dear! It was she who abused the cops by hugging and kissing a cop who was on duty. My gosh! What a country we live in. I sincerely hope that my fellow Sri Lankans will vote wisely next time and get these basket women out of politics for good!

Robin Banks Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:24 AM

The cop has gone to human rights because he lost his hearing due to Hirunika screaming in his ear.

Mm Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:27 AM

Her Behavior is disgusting. Some praise her actions but we all know her breed. There are many female political figures in the past and present around the world but they all have better self respect unlike this drug dealers daughter

Dumb Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:36 AM

She rubs her crotch and breasts on policemen and claims she was abused. And she talks about having self-control in these situations, meaning she gets aroused. I think this lady should be taken to a psychiatrist

Bannis Mama Tuesday, 08 November 2022 10:11 AM

In our necked eyes we saw some dirty police officers pulling out the blouse of Hirunika. IGP you must take action against such nasty police officers.

W.M. Samarathunga (Attorney-at-Law) Tuesday, 08 November 2022 10:14 AM

Yes, our Police Officers are totally in-disciplined very badly Hirunika was harassed. Next time people will give the right treatment to all the Policemen who misbehave.

Meera Tuesday, 08 November 2022 10:14 AM

Ranil's Batalanda Police will learn a good lesson from the public very soon.

srilal Sangapulli Tuesday, 08 November 2022 10:16 AM

Shameless third class women, she must be in jail for kidnapping a man sometime back.

Sajith Kumara Tuesday, 08 November 2022 02:20 PM

Hirunika gave CONSENT to be WOMAN HANDLED and NOW she is complaining, what a joker. SJB as a party is so broke they are using women as shield to gain their political agenda. SHAME ON SJB, SHAME ON Hirunika for dragging other women for theses protest.

Cheers Tuesday, 08 November 2022 02:39 PM

She abused the law enforcement officers and she is saying her human rights were violated. She should be punished under the law

Anura Nanayakkara Tuesday, 08 November 2022 03:51 PM

It was clearly Hirunika abusing Policemen to get the media attention . Cheap antics of Hirunika for political advantage. She sprayed her saliva all over policeman 's face while shouting at him in close proximity.

Fernando Tuesday, 08 November 2022 04:00 PM

What we saw was Hirunika trying to climb all over the policeman. He was clearly embarrassed when she was invading his personal space. Looks like she's having some kind of an attention seeking disorder. Whenever she's on a protest, she behaves like a basket woman.

Concerned citizen Tuesday, 08 November 2022 07:28 PM

This woman is a curse to the country just like her drug lord father.Duminda Silva seems better now. She wants to get abused by somebody pushing herself on top of every man she sees.She is abusing every man she meets

“ The Lansi Burgher Gent “ Wednesday, 09 November 2022 10:27 AM

She knows it’s “curtains” for her at the next election. Trying her best to claw herself into parliament at whatever the cost. She’s just a cockroach; you can’t get rid of them. Such a shame that, that bankrupt party hasn’t cancelled her membership for she is as good, as a used pair of knickers. Puthano, doesn’t seem to mind this piece of “takarang” going around being a nuisance, though.

Abd Thursday, 10 November 2022 05:34 AM

Public know her well,she trying her best to market herself for next election, where HP is there is she igniting chaos
