SB's sons 'back to business'

Asked to appear before police

The Fort Police have summoned the two sons of former minister S.B. Dissanayake and two other women named the Nettikumara for an inquiry in connection with an assault on a woman at Galadari hotel on Christmas eve, police said.

The woman from Colombo 5 has complained to Fort Police that one of the woman who accompanied minister Dissanayake's sons slapped her on the face around 3.15 a.m. while at the hotel.

The woman in her complaint had stated that she had gone to the Night Club at Galadari Hotel on December 24 accompanied two other persons and were seated when Dissanayke's two sons arrived with two women.

The women had asked whether they could share the table to which she had objected. After a heated argument the two women had threatened her for not abliging then to occupy the table.

At this stage the hotel manager had intervened and provided Dissanayake's sons and the two women with a separate table. The reason for slapping was the refusal to share the table with them, the woman had told the Fort police.

Earlier one of minister Dissanayake's sons were involved in a brawl at a five star hotel in Colombo along with the son of former Minister Mahinda Wijesekera.

OIC Fort Chief Inspector Ratnayake said that both parties have been informed to appear before an inquiry in connection with the complaint on assault.
