Three persons sustained injuries after the motorcade escorting National Freedom Front Leader and Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa came under a mob attack at Homagama. The injured who are attached to NFF leader Weerawansa's security detail were admitted to the Homagama Base Hospital with minor injuries.

According to Police spokesman SSP Ranjith Gunasekera, the Homagama Police on a complaint made by the NFF leader have initiated comprehensive investigation into this incident.

Weerawansa together with Parliamentarian Achala Jagoda were heading for an election meeting at Homagama when his motorcade came under attack at Homagama.

However, the JVP in a complaint to the Homagama Police yesterday said their supporters were also assaulted by UPFA supporters who came in a vehicle which had no number plate.
