The Hon. Kabir Hashim
Kabir Hashim questioned the circumstances under which individuals arrested after an incident involving police conduct were granted bail the following Saturday. He asked whether the Government intervened, noting that one woman involved was hospitalized and asserting that bail is normally not granted to hospitalized persons or on Saturdays.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, thank you for your answer. I raise this because of what happened that day: if you saw how the police behaved, insulting people in front of them, and how they in turn insulted even the police. Those arrested were granted bail the next day, on Saturday. The woman involved was in hospital at the time. First, when someone is hospitalized, bail is not given. Second, bail is not given on a Saturday. So how did that happen? Did the Government intervene to give bail? That is my question.
