Strongly denying its involvement in Wednesday’s attack on Dr. N. J. Nonis, the registrar of the Sri Lankan medical Council (SLMC), the management of the Malabe Private Medical College (MPMC) yesterday alleged that those opposing the MPMC could have mounted the attack.

A spokesperson for the MPMC said that they strongly condemned the assault on Dr. N. J. Nonis.

The official expressed belief that an interested party opposed to MPMC had carried out the attack to disrupt the progress of the private medical faculty.

Denouncing the assault, the Director of the medical faculty, Dr. Sameera Senaratne said, "We strongly condemn the attack on Dr. Nonis as he has always been corporative in the progress of our medical faculty. Also, we firmly deny the allegations levelled against us."

"Dr. Nonis is a friend of mine and of other doctors employed at the faculty.

The Director called for an independent investigation.
