Parliamentarian Duminda Silva is now out of danger following the serious injuries he suffered in a gunfight at Mulleriyawa this afternoon (Oct. 08) said hospital sources.
The Sri Jayawardenepura Hospital, where he is in ICU treatment, is being guarded by his supporters, who fear a threat to his life, reports said.
Two bullets have already been removed from the body of the UPFA MP, who is to undergo several more surgeries.
Soon after he was admitted to the hospital, defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa arrived and spent around and hour there.
Lakshman Hulugalle and Prasanna Wickramasuriya also visited the hospital.
The injured parliamentarian’s men fear that supporters of presidential advisor Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra, who was killed in the shooting, would enter the hospital and harm his life.
Therefore, they are guarding the premises, disregarding the hospital security and body checking all persons, while the police just look on, reports said.
Meanwhile, mobs, believed to be supporters of the deceased, a former parliamentarian, have set fire to an office of MP Silva at Wellampitiya.
A police curfew is in force in the area until 6.00 am tomorrow.
