They were also directed to be examined and reported on by a Judicial Medical Officer James who had been unconscious after the assault, had a laceration on the right side of his forehead and several bruises on the body. Doctors ordered a CT scan. Belinda suffered abrasions and multiple bruises on her forehead, arms and legs. The CCD charged Malaka and eight others with unlawful assembly and assault of the two foreigners. The report submitted to courts said there was suspicion that attempts were made to abduct Belinda. When the case was taken up on Tuesday, Malaka was not present as he had reportedly undergone surgery. He was transferred from the private hospital to a State-run hospital. The case was postponed for November 11 to submit a medical report, while an identification parade is due to be held on November 18. Belinda, in her statement to the CCD, said that Malaka had harassed her during the dance and he appeared to be after liquor. She claimed she feared that she would be abducted. James said they were harassed and he feared his finacee would be abducted from that location, and therefore, he reacted in self defence. Malaka, in his statement, claimed that he was first assaulted by Belinda, and thereafter, he had reacted. Meanwhile, Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police S.M. Wickremaratne confirmed that two MSD bodyguards were present at the scene of the incident, but police were yet to ascertain whether they were involved in the brawl. We are investigating the matter, he said. He said they will be investigating the circumstances surrounding their presence there. We will present them to a court of inquiry, he added. Malaka had been previously involved in several similar incidents at nightclubs. In one incident, he was accused of assaulting Major Chandana Pradeep, of the Military Intelligence Corps, while returning from a nightclub at the JAIC Hilton Colombo Residences, Union Place. In 2004, he was accused of running amok, destroying property at a nightclub. In 2006, he and his bodyguards pleaded guilty in a case where they were charged with attacking Police Narcotics Bureau officials, and were ordered to pay compensation. The following year, he was accused of assaulting a Charted Accountant at a Colombo restaurant.In 2013, Malaka was assaulted in a clash at the Odel car park, for allegedly casting remarks at a female. Meanwhile, a British High Commission spokesperson, when contacted on the incident, said, We are providing consular assistance, but cannot comment on individual cases.</blockquote>
