A 36-year-old security guard deployed at the Department of Examinations in Battaramulla was killed when a lorry knocked him down, Police said today (17).
The lorry was leaving the Department from the main gate when the accident took place yesterday.
Police said initial investigations revealed that the driver lost control of the vehicle.
He was later placed under arrest.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
