Sri Lanka Test cricket team captain Dhananjaya Silva’s brother has been admitted to the Kalubowila Hospital after being attacked with a sword.
The Mount Lavinia Police say they have received information that the attack was carried out by someone who claims to be connected to the underworld. The attack was carried out by a group that came to his house last night. When he raised his hand to avoid the sword attack, the sword hit his hand and injured him.
The group that came to attack fled in the face of the injured person’s attacks back. Mount Lavinia Police are conducting further investigations. Dhananjaya Silva’s father, municipal councilor Ranjan Silva, was shot dead by an underworld gang member in 2018.
