The Hettipola Police are currently investigating a terrifying incident involving the President of the Sri Lanka Kabaddi Association, Anura Pathirana. A hand grenade was hurled alarmingly close to his car, prompting immediate action from authorities. Pathirana, who lives in the Hettipola Dolahamuna area, must have been shaken by the reckless and violent act. It’s unclear who is responsible for this disturbing incident, but the police are pulling out all the stops to find the perpetrator. Such blatant aggression and threat to one’s safety is deeply concerning, and we hope that justice will be served swiftly.
Imagine the shock of discovering a hand grenade lying close to your car as you go to start it. That was the reality for Pathirana on Sunday (26), and it turns out that the grenade was manufactured in a foreign country. Investigations have pointed to Pathirana’s involvement in the upcoming Sri Lanka Kabaddi Association election as a possible motive for the scare tactic. It’s unsettling to think that political tension could escalate to such a dangerous level, but thankfully the police were able to swiftly take the grenade into their custody. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for political differences to be addressed with civility and non-violence.
