The Police report submitted to the Kegalle Magistrate Court on the shooting at Rambukkana yesterday (19) to disperse a public protest has strongly been opposed.
Accordingly, the Magistrate was conducting an on-site probe with the relevant officers from around 2 pm today until the evening. Reports said that the residents of the area have shown blood stains on road about half a kilometre away from the place in which the terror had occurred.
Accusations are being levelled against the Police that the blood stains near the shooting location have been washed away.
The Police were also said to be embarrassed as they were unable to produce a firm statement before the Court, especially in terms of corroborating the story with what the Police Media Spokesperson, the Senior Police Spokesperson, the Inspector General of Police and the Minister in Charge of the Police had produced to the media.
Many legal counsels attended the Court proceeding.
Meanwhile, Attorney at Law Udul Premaratne made a Social Media remark in this regard and published photographic evidence matching the residents’ version of the story.
