CHAMINDA PERERA
National Freedom Front's former Provincial Councillor Priyantha
Bellana was admitted to the Nagoda General Hospital after being
assaulted
allegedly by a group of JVP supporters at Baduraliya on Sunday.
According to NFF sources, Bellana was returning from the Baduraliya
Mediation Board when a group alleged to be JVP supporters stopped his
vehicle and started assaulting him. Bellana was first admitted to the
Baduraliya district hospital and later transferred to the Kalutara
General Hospital.
He was summoned before the mediation board to inquire into a
complaint made by him against three JVP supporters who had allegedly
attacked him earlier.
Bellana has expressed his willingness to withdraw the complaint as
dragging on the case will serve no purpose. However, he lodged a
complaint over this incident at the Baduraliya Police Station. |
