Venerable Balangoda Kassapa Thero, who was hospitalized after an unrest during a Satyagraha held at Viharamahadevi Park in Colombo, requesting the release of Venerable Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thero, has left the hospital, refusing to stay for further observation as advised by doctors. This was confirmed by Dr. Sampath Indika Kumara, Director of the National Hospital in Colombo.
Following the incident, Kassapa Thero arrived at the accident and emergency unit of the National Hospital for treatment around 8:30 PM that night. Doctors immediately examined him and conducted necessary X-rays, ultrasounds, and blood tests. The Director of the National Hospital stated that none of these tests confirmed any injury or defect in his body.
