Stabbing
of cardiologist: Minister's wife not yet questioned Police said they wanted to first record a statement from the injured doctor before calling on Ms. Bogollagama, who allegedly stabbed the cardiologist in a dispute connected to a marital problem. Dr. Narenthiran told the media he was getting ready to go to hospital for consultations on Friday when Ms. Bogollagama came there and argued with him over why he did not turn up for the court case connected to the marital problem. The cardiologist said that when he went back to his house to pick up his cell phone, she had quietly followed him. Screaming "I have come to kill you, I have come to kill you", Ms. Bogollagama stabbed him in the back, Dr. Narenthiran claimed. A civil case concerning the marital problem had been filed by Mr. Bogollagama and the matter was to be settled on Thursday but Dr. Narenthiran's wife had not turned up. In this case Minister Bogollagama had claimed 50 million rupees as damages from Dr. Narenthiran's wife Dr. Nishadi Ranasinghe for interfering in his marital life. In his plaint he had complained that Dr. Ranasinghe had phoned his wife and had alleged that Dr. Ranasinghe had an illicit relationship with the Minister. He claimed that Dr. Ranasinghe had maliciously damaged his reputation and goodwill as a politician. Mr. Bogollagama later informed court he was withdrawing the plaint as a settlement had been reached. |
