Son, friend and Mahesh down body builder at supermarket car park and engages in attack!

Kadawatha Police have yesterday taken into custody well-known rupavahini  journalist Mahesh Nissanka and his two young sons and another person in connection with an incident of causing hurt to a person with a pointed instrument and have been produced before and after being produced in court was instructed by Mahara magistrate Shashan Dinel in which instance Mahesh's younger son, Thanuja Nissanka was given bail while Mahesh and

the other person were sent to remand prison until today (13).

Though some misleading information and news were circulated by the media misdirecting the public, according to information what was revealed about the said incident in court is as follows: Mr. Wasantha Kumara, proprietor of the popular physical development institute called Body Works Personal Training in Enderamulla, Wattala in fact was someone who maintained close relationships with artistes. Popular actors and actresses have been frequenting his institute for training sessions daily and he in fact was someone who appears in rupavahini programmes to provide advice on physical development exercises.

 Mahesh Nissanka of national rupavahini too is quite well known to him. However in recent times a misunderstanding has occured between the two of them over a personal issue. During night time past 9th, the two of them have confronted each other at a certain stores at which moment the previously mentioned issue has come to surface once more resulting in a verbal attack.

Mahesh was at that time in the company of his schoolgoing son and another friend who too had got involved in this argument. Since the argument was not conducive to the environment in the supermarket in which they were at that time, they had come out and continued with the argument. On that occasion Mahesh had got into a rage and had rushed to his vehicle parked at the car park and having opened its door had picked up a pointed instrument and had downed Wasantha Kumara and begun assaulting him. Mahesh's son as well as the friend had got involved in this fracas. Whatever strength he had, Wasantha Kumara ultimately could not counter-attack his opponents in the presence of three attackers.

Wasantha Kumara who was subjected to this assault had fallen on the ground and those around had taken steps to hospitalise the victim who had sustained serious injuries as a consequence. Thus 3 year old bachelor physical development instructor Wasantha Kumara after being admitted to hospital in still under treatment for the fourth day while arresting Mahesh Nissanka has still been delayed. The three of the assailants were taken into police custody yesterday and Mahara magistrate Mr. Shashan Dinel released Mahesh's son, the third suspect on a cash bail and personal bond yesterday on the grounds that as he was someone of schoolgoing age and it was unnecessary to detain him. Though he was thus released on a cash security of Rs. 1000 and a personal surety of Rs. one lakh, Mahesh and thefriend were sent to remand prison. The court hearing regarding this incident is to be resumed today.
