SLPP / EPDP Wanni District MP Thileepan Assaults a group of students in Vavuniya while officer attached to the MSD Watches. Will there be an unbiased inquiry ? Will the police issue a statement like they did with the white van issue ? @ReAdSarath pic.twitter.com/jxdpylpzFo

District Development Committee Chairman and Member of Parliament K. Thileepan had arrived at the scene after being summoned by a student to resolve a student conflict. Reportedly this wasn't the first time that the MP became involved in a student clash.
Soon after, conflict broke out between the students and some members of parliament. According to a student, the EDPD MP attacked a student and fled the scene on his vehicle. Police then arrested two students that were involved in the clash and carried out an investigation.
After filling the initial complaint, the MP withdrew it following the circulation of videos of the incident on social media. No further enquiries have taken place with regards to the MP in question.
