New faceift to story of tuition sir who now comes out with queer explanation

During the process when a full-scale inquiry is underway about the disappearance of a tuition master who was inside a luxury jeep after the jeep fell into Viana Ela near Mahiyanganaya - Mapakadawewa 17th milepost in the dawn of day-before-yesterday, he had surrendered to police today.

It was Prabath Withanage, a 34 year old teacher of Hingurakgoda area who had been conducting

private classes who had disappeared in this manner. Though people in the area had seen the vehicle which had toppled during morning hours and had tried to lift the vehicle from the waters, as there had been nobody inside, their hypothesis was that the person who had been inside may have been washed away and thus ended up in an accident. Officers of Oluvil Navy camp and officers of the police life-saving unit had utilised 2 boats and had engaged in a search operation and 4 police teams too were deployed in this instance.

As a result of this search operation for the missing person, supply of water to the Viana Ela was temporarily withheld. With this incident taking place, the President Maithripala Sirisena had issued instructions to director-general of Mahaweli to immediately erect a safety fence to Viana Ela.

On investigations conducted across this luxury vehicle police were able to uncover information that it was registered under the name of a teacher who had been conducting private classes in Hingurakgoda area and had given a telephone call to his home and informed about this incident. What the householders said was that he had left home saying that he was going to Kataragama. When the police were in search of him, his mobile phone was found active and on those lines they had launched a special inquiry and in the process the teacher who was conducting private classes had turned up at Mahiyangana police today (28). What he had said was that he had collapsed to the ela with the vehicle and that he had swum and come to the shore. However, the manner in which he had explained the incident was somewhat suspicious according to police. There is information to say that there had been another person present in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

This teacher who had been missing for a period of 3 days now coming out with a different story after having surrendered to Mahiyanganaya police has now aroused suspicion. Police are making further inquiries to confirm his statement, it is reported.
