Unidentified group storm monastery
Priyadarshani Kahawala, Ingiriya central group cor
A group of people who forcibly entered the Budumaga Senasuna Buddhist
Monastery at Moragahakanda Watta, Kalutara North on Sunday night,
assaulted novice monks and threatened them, eye witnesses said.
The group numbering around six entered the monastery around 3.30 am
and placed a pistol on a novice monk's head and inquired about the
monastery's Chief Incumbent Ven Puliyadde Suddhamma Thera.
Ven Suddhamma Thera said the gang had assaulted the novice monks and
threatened them. A novice monk had run to the nearest house while the
gang had followed him and continued to assault him, Ven Suddhamma Thera
said. The gang had later fled.
Investigations are continuing.
