A video is circulating on social media about an army officer assaulting a civilian at a fuel station in Polgahawela Yakgapiriya area.
After investigating the matter, we are informed that the problem occurred because those people abused the military personnel who were working near the fuel station. It is also reported that they used drugs as the reason for their violent behavior. However, it is obvious to any person that the attack was completely wrong and we made an inquiry to the army press officer about it. He mentioned that an investigation has already been started to take disciplinary action against the officer.
Unruly behavior of drunken persons near many petrol stations is a frequent breach of peace. The police have arrested two people who insulted the army officers at this place. He is also arrested because he is a drunk person who is assaulted by the army officer.
Also, a few days ago, a similar drunk person was attacked by the air force in Moratuwa.
