Police today said that a team led by the OIC of the Kilinochchi Police Station has commenced investigations into the attack on the TNA office during a meeting.

However, no arrests have been made over the incident so far, police spokesman SP Buddhika Siriwandena said.

Several persons were injured and hospitalized after a group of individuals protested and pelted stones at the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) office in Kilinochchi yesterday (30) morning.

A political meeting was held at TNA MP S. Sridharan’s office in Kilinochchi which was attended by several parliamentarians including Suresh Premachandran, M. A. Sumanthiran, Mavai Senathirajah, E. Saravanabhavan and other party activists.

The TNA alleged that “state-sponsored” thugs carrying the National Flag had protested outside the office and then pelted it with stones injuring several persons inside.
