The CID has informed court that the person who attacked a disabled soldier, which was circulating on social media during the mob attack on Galle Face protesters on May 9 has been identified as ruggerite Sajith Saranga.

Senior Deputy Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake appearing for the CID on Wednesday (15) informed Colombo Fort Magistrate that the investigations have revealed the suspect Sajith Saranga has left the country following the incident and thereby sought an order imposing travel restrictions on the suspect.

Magistrate Thilina Gamage issued an order imposing travel restrictions on the rugby player for the purpose of arresting him at the airport if he returned the country.

Meanwhile, the CID named ruggerite Sajith Saranga as the 29th suspect in the Galle Face attack case currently being heard at Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court. Further magisterial inquiry fixed for June 22. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

How cute, the CID spouts the name only after the suspect has safely left the country. I wont be surprised if Namal arranged motorcade to drop him off at Airport.

Look out he will never return to this country, why did the CID take so long to identify him, as the public knew that it was Saranga.

Yoshitha's man. Followed him around in the club rugby circuit and doing the dirty work for him outside. Good to see Isipathana, his old school, has disowned him!

Arrest Mahinda Rajapakse , he got all these goons to do dirty work. His conduct has been so lowly unbecoming of a Prime minister.

Surely the police by now know where he fled to.
