A group of New People’s Front activists, including Sugeeshwara Bandara, who staged a protest near the residence of Secretary to the Ministry of Finance Harshana Suriyapperuma in the Akuregoda, Pelawatte area this morning (April 28), has had cow dung hurled at them.
The group had arrived at the location to protest in connection with the alleged case where USD 2.5 million from the Treasury was diverted to an unauthorized account through a cyberattack.
According to reports, several individuals, including Bandara, were affected in the incident.
Speaking at the location while pointing to a roller door soiled with cow dung, Bandara said that a group from the JVP cadre had hurled dung at their own leader (Harshana Suriyapperuma).
A tense situation subsequently developed between the two groups, prompting police intervention.
