COLOMBO, May 9, 2022 - The Secretary-General of Sri Lanka's National Olympic Committee (NOC SL) Maxwell de Silva was a victim of an unprovoked physical attack by two unidentified attackers at his residence on Friday evening and then made their getaway by hi-jacking his private car.
As a result, de Silva sustained four-finger injuries which he sustained while trying to ward off the attackers who were branching knives.
The two attackers had gained access to de Silva's residence when the lady of the house opened the house front door; as a result of a disturbance made by the two dogs who had heard noises in their front yard.
The attackers invaded the house, then confronted Maxwell de Silva during his sleep and attacked him alleging that they had been victims of injustice.
It is believed that this is a result of the Commonwealth Games selections and a party that is affected by it. It is also thought this is an extension of the rivalry between de Silva supporters and his contender who was defeated at the last elections for the NOC SL executive committee positions.
