“The 31-year-old motorcyclist had knocked the side mirror of the vehicle that the Army officer was travelling in. However, the motorcyclist has refused to be transferred, citing that he is in good health,” explained SSP Thalduwa. A video circulating on social media shows the Army officer being accused by a crowd of people of assaulting a young man until he allegedly “vomited blood”, following a road accident between the pair. SSP Thalduwa added that the three people involved in the accident had been summoned to the Police, where the Army officer was arrested on charges of assault and his driver was arrested for hindering the vehicle movement of the motorcyclist. “The motorcyclist has volunteered to not pursue the case of assault,” SSP Thalduwa further said.
