An electoral organizer of the United National Party has reportedly assaulted and bitten the nose of an individual during a wedding reception in Attanagalla this evening.

The assault victim, said to be an employee of a state media organization, has been admitted to the Wathupitiwala Hospital.

Wathupitiwala Hospital Police said a complaint has been lodged alleging that UNP electoral organizer Thushara Hemachandra had carried out the attack and had also proceeded to bite the victim’s nose.

The Police Spokesman’s Officer confirmed that such an incident was reported between 4.00pm-4.35pm today (21).

Another UNP politician, MP Dunesh Gankanda was arrested over a similar incident in May last year, after he was accused of assaulting and biting the nose of a businessman at a night club in Kollupitiya.
