Police constable who tries sex-stunt on married woman by creeping into house ... gets bellyful from pole under mattress!

Kebethigollewa Police report of an incident where a police sergeant after finding out the address of a woman who came to police for a personal necessity had later forced himself into her house and tried to sexually molest her.

The woman who protested against his attempt had assaulted him with a pole and the sergeant who sustained serious injury was thus admitted to Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital. The woman concerned was someone who was living in Ralapanawa, Handagala. She had been to Kebethigollewa Police Headquarters public relations unit for the purpose of obtaining a police clearance certificate

for her son. At that time it was this particular sergeant who was at the desk. From the time she confronted him there the sergeant is supposed to have engaged in conversation all the while looking at her as if in an enticed manner and had gone beyond securing the information required for the woman's son's report and even asked details about her address too. He had also come to know that she is alone after her husband sets off for work. The sergeant had told the woman that to get the report she need not rustify by coming to police and that since there was a relation of his in that location he could hand over the report when coming that way to meet his relative.

Accordingly the sergeant, armed with the report had approached the woman's home yesterday (21) and when handing over the document, by going close to her had tried to make physical contact with her and had gone to the extent of even embracing her. At that moment though the woman had made him understand that she was not in favour of such advances, he had shown signs of going into a temper and then had pushed her into a room and having closed the door had tried to sexually abuse her. On the spur of the moment the woman who acted almost with instinct had lifted the mattress of the bed and taken a bed-pole into her hands and preventing the sergeant from getting near him had proceeded to deal him blow after blow. The sergeant who became the victim in this instance had dropped down on the floor after which the woman had opened the closed door and summoned help from people around.

People in the neighbourhood who came to her rescue had got hold of the sergeant and tied him to a chair. The police who came there had taken the sergeant who was so tied, into their custody and taken him away. The sergeant who sustained serious injury is presently under treatment at Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital under police security, it is reported.

Incidentally it was a 55 year old sergeant who was about to retire from service serving at the public relations unit who had tried to commit this misdeed. On instructions of Senior Superintendent of Police, Ravi Pieris, and Vijith Alwis, Acting Superintendent  of Police has initiated necessary inquiries.  The sergeant taken into custody is expected to be produced before court.
