Claiming that the egg attack on JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake was a criminal offence committed by an organised gang, the Lawyers for National People’s Power today alleged that the police had not recorded even a statement from the two suspects arrested in connection with the incident.

Attorney-at-Law Sunil Watagala told a news conference that there was a person or a group of persons who aided and abetted the attack and that investigations should be conducted to ascertain the chain of evidence and reveal the real culprits behind the incident.

“Police can trace the chain of evidence and ascertain the real culprit behind the incident. They can check the video footages, newspaper articles and trace telephone conversations of the two suspects. Police don’t seem to follow that procedure,” he said.

Mr. Watagala said according to photos of the suspects, it was revealed that they were attached to a private security firm and added that the government should conduct an impartial investigation into the incident.

Attorney-at-Law Upul Kumarapperuma said this incident could be just the beginning and that they could even hurl bombs in the future.

He urged the police to arrest the suspects and implement the law against them.(Ajith Siriwardana)

    We are only spectators of the unfolding drama. Egg first, followed by chilli powder, what next.

    The owner of the chicken farm and those who sold the eggs are the people who aided and abetted this crime

    Good script, but poor plot even worse acting.

    Stop haggling with this petty egg attack! It clearly shows that the pension is not enough to maintain a family and they will do anything for a measly sum of 5k. Help them with some relief package.

    One cannot do it due to his big belly, he passed it to other man who cannot run, so he hired 16 guys each for 5000, but they too failed,

    When, oh when, did our police conduct a proper investigation?

    Minister Ranatunga is behind this scene and organized this nasty act. First of all, he should be produced before judgement.

    SriLanka Police and Judiciary will obey only Minister's calls and act promptly supporting the Government. Only God has to save our country from this nasty ruthless rulers.

    Fat man Ranatunga is the main organizer, who will take action against him?

    Rathu Putha Wednesday, 02 February 2022 11:19 AM

    JVP will not tolerate such attacks hereafter, if they show their colours the entire nation will shake, take it from me.
