Signs that Wariyapola ear-clouts heading for courtsYouth to hospital .... girl to police Investigation to search person who sent video to internet
The incident of a girl clouting a youth on the ear recently at Wariyapola bus-stand created a sensation on the internet and though it appeared to come to a close in its early stages, by now it has gone far and appears to go further as to take legal action.

As such, after the incident, Robertdasage Chandradasa alias Selva admitted himself to hospital about 3 weeks later saying that he had developed an ailment in the ear because of the girl clouting his ear. He had done so because it would make things easy for him to take legal action after securing a medical report on having been admitted to hospital.

In the process, the girl Thilini Imalka who was at the centre of the incident where she had reprimanded the youth concerned and had dealt slaps on his face continuously had been informed to report to Wariyapola Police today (27), Wariyapola Police reports. This request had been made on the grounds of the complaint lodged by the youth to Wariyapola Police after facing the assault.

While it was reported that this girl is employed in Colombo it was also learned that she was hiding in the house or has left the house and gone elsewhere. On inquiries made by the media, the youth alone had consented to confront the media while the girl had not. On the alternative, she had resorted only to restricting herself to short messages on the phone and had provided information in that manner.

The OIC of Wariyapola Police had mentioned that it would be necessary for future legal action to secure evidence by the police from those who were present at the bus-halt at the time blows on the face were dealt on the youth and also the person who videoed this incident.
