Two additional third-year students from the Faculty of Technology at Sabaragamuwa University have been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with the ongoing probe into an alleged ragging incident that reportedly led to a student’s death.

Police said the arrests bring the total number of suspects in custody to ten. The newly arrested students are expected to be produced before the Balangoda Magistrate’s Court.

The investigation follows the death of 23-year-old Charith Dilshan, a second-year student from the Department of Engineering Technology, who is believed to have died by suicide after being subjected to ragging. His death was reported on 29 April.

On 1 May, another student lodged a complaint at the Samanala Wewa Police, alleging that Dilshan’s suicide was directly linked to ragging. Since then, statements have been recorded from 20 students who also claim to have faced similar abuse.

On 3 May, the case was handed over to the CID on the instructions of the Acting Inspector General of Police to ensure a comprehensive and impartial investigation.
