Police Spokesman SSP Ranjith Gunasekara told The Bottom Line
that, Anarkali had made a statement to the police, to the
effect that, she had been living with Silva at Jaic Hilton
Colombo for the last seven months, but had left him about
a week ago, because he was ill-treating her and preventing
her from pursuing her film career. The Police Spokesman said
that the actress had complained that Silva was being overly
strict with her.
“The couple had met again at Crescat Boulevard in Kollupitiya
and Silva had urged her to come back with him, but she had
refused. She had made the complaint alluding to her security,”
SSP Gunesekara added.
The Kollupitiya police had also recorded a statement from
Western Provincial Councillor Silva of the alleged incidents.
SSP Gunesekera declined to reveal what Silva had said in his
statement to the police but claimed that the politico had
accepted the charges.
Several attempts were made to contact Silva but the provincial
councilor could not be reached.
