A woman who had earlier made a false complaint to the Kandy police station that her body parts were removed by two doctors after they abducted her to Ambepussa pleaded guilty to making a false complaint before the Kandy Magistrate who sentenced her to six months rigorous imprisonment suspended for 25 years, Police Media Spokesman SP Ajith Rohana told the Sunday Observer.

According to police, the woman (40) from Dambulla had been visiting the Kandy hospital to seek treatment for cancer for some time. She complained to Kandy police that two doctors had promised to take her to India for further treatment free of charge.

Thereafter they took her to a place at Ampebussa where she was given a packet of milk to drink. She told police that she fainted after consuming milk and the doctors thereafter removed her body parts.

She later escaped from the house with the help of others and arrived in Colombo by train.

The Kandy police who inquired into the case found that the woman had gone to Polonnaruwa with another man and checked into a guest house.

The Polonnaruwa police arrested the couple on suspicion while they were about to check out of the guest house.

They produced the couple in court and they were remanded for 14 days. The woman later told the Kandy police that she made a false complaint to deceive her husband who had inquired about her sudden disappearance for two weeks.
