Millionaire arrested for alleged rape at five star hotel



A millionaire businessman was taken into custody by the Police Children and Women Bureau on suspicion of the alleged rape of a female employee at a five-star hotel in Colombo.

Police said the businessman was the owner of an agency sending young men and women to European countries for higher education and that the victim was one of his employees.

Investigations revealed that the suspect had informed her to attend a meeting organized by his institution at the hotel and that she had called over at the hotel as required by him. The suspect had already reserved a meeting hall in the hotel and when the young woman entered it he had locked the doors and raped her. 

However, he told police that the young woman came to the hotel with him voluntarily. 

The suspect was arrested during investigations of the victim’s complaint. She was admitted to hospital for a medical examination.

OIC Children and Women Bureau CI Samanthika is conducting further investigations on the instructions of SSP Buddhika Manatunga and DIG Renuka Jayasundara. (Srinath Prasanna Jayasuriya)
