A woman who was abducted by individuals in a car yesterday (04) in the Sigiriya area, while she had been en route to a place of business from her house, has managed to escape from her captures by attacking the driver and causing an accident.
The woman has then lodged a complaint at the Sigiriya police that the abduction was led by her former husband, who she had legally divorced around 8 months back, along with his brother and one of his friends.
It was revealed that the ex-husband is currently making spousal maintenance payments to the abducted woman.
The complaint filed by the woman mentioned that the abductors had dragged her into a car and then tied up her legs.
However, she had escaped to a nearby house after attacking the driver of the car and causing a motor accident.
Reportedly, the ex-husband had threatened her not to file a complaint at the police and the reason for the abduction has been his incapability to follow up the regular maintenance payments.
Police investigations have uncovered that the abducted woman, a mother of one, is maintaining a small-scale business following her divorce.
The persons responsible for the abduction are yet to be arrested, according to Sigiriya police, who are conducting further investigations regarding the incident.
