Angry husband bites ear of wife’s lover in bus

A Sri Lankan man has been arrested by the police for biting an ear of his wife’s paramour inside a private bus in Dambulla, according to a report in Ceylon Today.

According to the police, the suspect started to inspect buses reaching Polonnaruwa from Colombo after receiving a tip-off that his wife was returning home in a bus with a man after attending a funeral in Colombo.

The arrested man boarded the bus and manhandled the man who was hugging his wife. He also bit the left ear of the man who was later admitted to Dambulla Hospital.

Both the man and his wife were taken into police custody and were to be produced in the Dambulla Magistrate's Court.

In another incident in Piliyandala, a man who allegedly bit his girlfriend's nose over a dispute was remanded to police custody by Kesbewa Magistrate Chamath Madanayake.

The suspect will be produced in court on March 21.

Rs40m worth of imported ethanol seized

People who illegally imported 62,000 litres of ethanol worth Rs40 million into Sri Lanka under the guise of bringing in ‘chemical thinner’ will be fined, customs officials who inspected the consignment on Saturday said.

Custom officials were to open and inspect the containers in the presence of the importer on Saturday but the importer failed to turn up, compelling the officials to carry on with the inspection, customs spokesman Leslie Gamini told Ceylon Today.

The matter has become a controversy involving the names of several top politicians, with a Matale District United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) parliamentarian, who reportedly owns the largest number of liquor bars in the district, claiming that he is not involved in the import of the impugned stock of ethanol.

The Excise Department received a tip-off when the ethanol stock in two 40-feet containers was being moved to another location.  The ethanol was in 310 barrels of 210 litres each.

Excise and Customs then officials seized the two containers and informed the importer to present himself at the opening of the containers.

The contraband stock was sent to the Government Analyst's Department for its report, Deputy Commissioner of Excise Ariyaratne Bodaragama said.
