Chilli Thilanka taken into police custody

Singer and actor Chilli Chilli was taken into police custody this morning. The reason for it was an instance of assaulting a villager. At a moment when there was a traffic congestion in a by-lane in Vijithapura area in Pelawatta, Battaramulla recently because of some charity activity taking

place around there, Chilli who was travelling in his vehicle had demanded a person who was travelling nearby to give him room because of the block of traffic there and had subsequently got involved in an argument with the other saying that the space provided is not sufficient for him, after which it had ended up in a fracas.

The 57 year old person who was at the receiving end of the assault spoke about the incident from Talangama Hospital. "When the horn was tooted I asked, 'there's no room to move to a side ... isn't it? No sooner I said so, a tall person got down from his vehicle and began kicking me continuously. After the first and second shots I can't remember. Later people at the bana ceremony came and rescued me. The man then beat a retreat. I got to know that it was an actor by the name of Chilli. I had two stitches done towards the middle of my lip and the jaw too was injured. Even my spine was wounded".

Chilli Thilanka who was found missing for about 2 days after the incident had come to Talangama Police this morning and had made a statement after which he was taken into custody. He is expected to be produced before courts today. A video report regarding the said incident, from below
