It is reported from the Welikada prison sources that Sakvithi convicted for a massive financial fraud had slapped a prison official which had left marks of his fingers on his face. The incident had occurred yesterday the 13th.
Sakvithi has been kept in the ‘Chapel’ ward where the worst criminals are held. The incident had taken place when he was taken out and kept in a queue with the other prisoners. It was at this moment that Sakvithi had slapped this prison official.
After the incident the other prison officers had rushed to
the scene to prevent Sakvithi attacking further as he had been in a furious mood. He was later taken and handed over to the prison Director. He had been severely warned and had been told that disciplinary action would be taken against him.
It was further revealed that later Sakvithi was taken back to his special ward room.
