June 23 (Daily Mirror) - Acting Magistrate Priyanka Madduma Patabandi today ordered the detention and interrogation of eight youths, including one who is reportedly the boyfriend of the victim, for 48 hours following their arrest in connection with the alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old student in the Hanwella area.

The order was issued after the Hanwella Police requested additional time to detain and interrogate the suspects.

The group, comprising residents of the Jaltara area in Ranala, was presented in court earlier today.

The victim, a 16-year-old student, reported the assault to local authorities, prompting a swift investigation that led to the arrests.

If they go to prison even for a week, they’ll know how it feels to be gang raped!

Absolutely disgusting. There couldn't have been any females in their families as they grew up. If there were, I doubt if these 8 scum would have spared them. Kudos to their parents.

It has nothing to do with 2500 years of history. These are the guys whose minds have been polluted by so called 'Be Fair' countries.

Glorious? Sri Lankan history has always been about betraying family for money and power and regularly losing to foreign powers. The ruling majority of this country has always been the issue.

This case should be heard early considering that it is a special case and the perpetrators should be punished severely.

Always the public have spoken about a 2500 years culture but we have fallen to the category of beasts due to some of these incidents taking place. The reasons are that the government has not enforced stringent punishment although we have laws to ensure a disciplined society. Bad examples are created by some of the politicians and the laws are manipulated to ensure their freedom. When will we have a society who respects the rights of other citizens. At least it is never too late to apply the law irrespective of powers and every arm of the law applying the law with transparency and honesty!!!!!

With mobile phones,the Internet etc most young men and women become victims of technology. This girl seems somewhat experienced in the way of sexual activity. Those young men don’t seem to understand the gravity of their actions. It’s a criminal offence to rape. Computer records will brand them for life. When police reports are to be produced if they apply for jobs overseas. I feel sorry for the young men who are involved in this crime. At their age they are sure to be boasting, bragging about how they wer able to net a “ easy “ girl. . How on earth can this girl face the family.

These women deserve this. When they find a smartphone, they think they are the smartest on earth and have the slightest respect for the elderly. Good punishment for not choosing a respectable boy.

We are now so close to India and it is usual to adopt their habits good or bad. New Delhi has earned the name of 'Rpe capital of the world' why not we too give a run?
