In a side-splitting turn of events in Padiyathalawa, a local Police Officer received an impromptu crash course in ‘Marital Law’ courtesy of an Army Soldier who decided to rewrite the rulebook on domestic disputes. Picture this: the Soldier returns home to find his beloved wife and a fellow cop getting cozy in the bedroom. But instead of resorting to handcuffs, this ingenious husband opted for a more ‘traditional’ approach – he wielded a ‘Mol Gaha,’ better known as a ‘Pestle,’ typically reserved for pounding wheat, not egos!
The resulting chaos landed both the 32-year-old police officer and the 48-year-old soldier’s wife in the Mahiyanganaya Government Hospital, probably feeling more battered than the dough on a baking day.
While the cop was eventually relocated to the Badulla Government Hospital, our ‘Pestle-wielding Paladin,’ aged 41, decided to turn himself in at the Mahiyanganaya Police Station, perhaps realizing that justice might be better served with a side of humility.
But wait, the fun doesn’t stop there! Our hero’s bid for leniency took a detour as he was sent straight to the Crimes Unit of the Ampara Police Division.
It seems like our tale has taken us on quite a wild ride through the maze of ‘Law & Disorder.’ But fear not, for amidst the chaos, the one thing that remains constant is the unwavering presence of the “Pestle of Justice.” It may seem like a strange choice of weapon in the grand scheme of things, but hey, desperate times call for inventive measures!
