Date:

Voice Artist and prominent activist of the ‘Aragalaya’ Dilan Senanayake was brutally assaulted by two assailants yesterday (14), raising suspicion whether a trend of mob attacks is on the rise.

Injured, Dilan was admitted to Kalubowila Hospital, according to Police.

The assailants who barged into Dilan’s residence in Pagoda, Nugegoda assaulted the activist by a sharp weapon, wounding him on a shoulder and a leg.

Dilan, who was a prominent voice at the anti-government protests in recent times, was one of the key witnesses holding digital evidence to the organised assault launched by pro-Rajapaksa activists on May 09, 2022.

Dilan’s condition is reportedly not serious.
