He Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) has begun an investigation over an incident where a man was forced to drown in Bambalapitiya this morning in front of several onlookers.
Police spokesman senior DIG Nimal Madiwaka said that the victim was believed to be mentally retarded and used to throw stones towards trains and vehicles passing by.
Earlier today the victim had reportedly thrown stones towards the Bambalapitiya police before jumping into the sea and drowning, the police spokesman quoted the Bambalapitiya police as saying.
However shocking television footage taken by a cameraman from his television office showed men attempting to beat the victim using sticks and preventing him from coming ashore resulting in his death by drowning.
The police spokesman said that with the airing of the footage the CCD was asked to take over the probe on the incident. The probe will include possible police involvement in the incident. Navy divers meanwhile are looking for the body of the victim, the police spokesman added. (SD) |

Again this proves a country without a competent leader who is capable of providing equal security to the common man.
Locking up the educated who question their rights and letting lose the uneducated (Ata Pass) dogs .
If the mentally retarded victim was given due support and medical attention that is rightfully due from the sate this situation would have never occurred ./ but the state is busy taking care of there own retards

These sick bastards are worst than animals. It makes it worse to know the person was mentally handicapped.
There seem to be a lot of people on the beach. Not one had a conscience or balls.

If this tape was not aired there wont even be an investigation, not that anything good is going to come out of it. |

This is a crime. Nothing to do with the leader. Such crimes happen everywhere in the world irrespective of the leader of the country. |
