The Federation of University Teachers’ Association (FUTA) has called for immediate arrests over the alleged assault on former Vice Chancellor of Peradeniya University, Prof. Athula Senaratne and his son.
Reports emerged that a group of about 300 students have assaulted the Peradeniya ex VC and his son, during an attempt to forcibly enter their residence two days (10) ago.
The assault was reportedly due to an argument with the ex VC’s son having escalated into a clash with the said students and the Prof. Senaratne and his son were hospitalised due to sustaining injuries.
The event has been captured by the CCTV installed at the ex VC’s residence, according to FUTA, and the Union urged the Police to arrest the group involved in the assault by using CCTV footage.
