👨‍⚖️ Former foreign worker denies indecent assault charges

Palinda Maduranga Dissanayake, a former work permit holder, appeared in Grand Court on Friday, denying allegations of groping two women and a 15-year-old girl on public buses. Dissanayake entered not guilty pleas to four counts of indecent assault. He is accused of inappropriately touching the women's breasts in separate incidents that occurred between January and July of this year. 🚍

Since his arrest, Dissanayake has lost his job. He is scheduled to return to court this Friday, when a trial date will be set. The accusations against him have serious implications, not only for his personal life but also for his professional future. 🏛️
