Journalist Rajpal Abeynayake has reportedly been assaulted during an annual get-together of a lawyers’ association held at a five star hotel in Colombo yesterday (03).
Police state that a complaint has been lodged at the Colpetty police station regarding the incident, which had occurred abruptly during a conversation.
Mr. Abeynayake, speaking to Ada Derana, claimed he was punched and kicked on the head by a lawyer, due to a comment he had ‘jokingly’ made to another lawyer regarding the former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva.
Rajpal Abeynayake further stated that he has the right express his views in public and that the assault on him was contemptible.
