A 27 year old Tamil man who was shot at by Sri Lankan police before being taken into custody has been released on bail by Mullaitivu magistrate court.
Vivekanandan Thijeevan's lawyer told the court of how the police officers had threatened him repeatedly and fired two shots towards his feet, after he had demanded to see an arrest warrant.
Condemning the incident, the TNA MP in Vanni, Sivasakthi Ananthan called for an inquiry.
"President Maithripala Sirisena and prime minister Ranil Wickremasinghe claimed there is good governance rule in this country. Shooting at someone in Keppapilavu who demands that the police show an arrest warrant - is part of that rule or it is that rule not valid in north?" he asked.
