Major ready to swallow the indignity and ignominy after
getting his head broken
Wednesday 19 of September 2012
It is not the usual practice of the court to hear a petitioner’s motion without the accused being in court. The court accepting the motion however stated that if this is to be heard before the next court date , that is Monday next, the case can be called again earlier , but that should be without inconveniencing the CID . Hence the lawyers for Chandana Pradeep were instructed to inform the CID on this , and get their consent for an earlier date to hear the motion. The court also stated that there are no objections now to granting bail to the two accused , and the Major shall be present in court at the next date .
It is to be noted that the Major of the Army intelligence unit who is ready to come to an amicable settlement is nevertheless still taking treatment at the Army Hospital . On the 9th , he was mauled by Malaka and Rehan the sons of two Ministers and a group at the JAIC Hilton vehicle park ,and his head was broken at several places. Moreover , the criminal offenders had committed the most serious offences of robbing the official pistol , gold chain and mobile phone of his .
The Major lodged a complaint with the Slave Island police against these criminals . But the police took no action against the sons of the Ministers even after the lapse of ten days. After media exposures and a public outcry , the accused surrendered on the 17th ,and they were remanded for a week by the courts. The two accused had been on remand just for a day , and have meanwhile induced the Major to give in.
A great statesman once said , a slave is a slave because he consents to slavery.
