SRI LANKA: Borella police has commenced an investigation to an incident where a 7-year-old boy, who came for cricket practice at the Prisons Ground, has been molested by a convict inside a toilet in the pavilion on Monday evening, ‘Lankadeepa’ reported.

Police said that the boy had come with his mother for cricket practice with others at the Prisons Ground and after practices while returning home, he had gone back to the pavilion to collect his water bottle that he had left behind.

Having seen the boy entering the ground, the suspect, who was cleaning the premises with some other convicts, had taken the boy into the pavilion promising to him a chocolate and instead molested him inside a toilet.

Later the boy related the story to his mother, who lodged a complaint at the Borella police.

Continuing further investigations, Borella police said since the convict has been sentenced for a drug offence, they have to obtain a court order after reporting the incident to the courts to arrest the suspect for questioning.
