Six police officers have been arrested for allegedly assaulting a priest in Negombo, a Sri Lankan city, after the priest, riding on a motorcycle, reportedly failed to stop.
“The incident occurred on Saturday night when the officers ordered a motorcyclist travelling along the Kirindiwita-Udugampola Road to stop,” a leading Sri Lankan newspaper reported. “The motorcyclist reportedly failed to comply, prompting the officers to pursue and arrest him.”
