An exorcist, who had brought a knife stuck in his waist to threaten a Romeo who made advances on his friend’s girlfriend, was arrested by Dambulla Police after releasing the girl concerned and three of her other boy friends.
A team from Dambulla Police which rushed to the Dambulla bus stand following a message on the police hotline that there was a likelihood of a stabbing incident at the stand, had seen a girl and four other girls involved in a scuffle. A youth standing there had complained that another youth hiding a knife in his waist had threatened to kill him.
Police had searched the suspect youth and arrested him after finding a knife hidden in his waist. Police had taken the five other girls along with the suspect youth and subjected them to questioning.
Investigations revealed that the girl in question had been carrying on with three other boyfriends apart from her original lover. One of the other boys had sought the assistance of an exorcist running a devalaya in Kekirawa to win over the girl.
The exorcist had escorted the youth to the Dambulla bus stand promising to help him win the girl’s heart through exorcism. But the exorcist had dangled the knife and threatened to stab the other youth if he did not give up his intentions about the girl concerned.
Investigations are continuing.
