The police are yet to disclose the unidentified mob that attacked Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri during a May Day rally held at the Lalith Athulathmudali Ground in Kirulapone on Friday (1) evening.

Police Spokesperson ASP Ruwan Gunasekara told Ada Derana that a police team has launched an investigation in connection with the incident. 

Dewasiri, who served as the Chairman of the Federation of University Teachers Associations (FUTA) from 2012-2014, was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital following the attack with minor injuries.

Dewasiri has been discharged from the hospital this morning (2), a hospital source told Ada Derana.
