A father of three who warned a group of youths not to perform dangerous motorcycle shows in the funeral procession of a youth who died in a motorcycle accident has been attacked with helmets in Wadduwa.
The last rites of a 19-year-old boy named Dulanja Hesham Wijewardena, a resident of Thalpitiya in Wadduwa, who died in a motorcycle accident on August 07, were performed yesterday (09) at the Weragama Public Cemetery in Wadduwa.
A group of young people came in a procession of about 30 motorcycles and performed a risky one-wheeled show to pay their last respects.
Many people have disapproved of the performance but no one has said anything except a father of three.
The eyewitnesses said that nearly 30 young people who got angry attacked the man with helmets and the people had to save him with great effort.
Police are conducting further investigations into the incident.
