The head of a pro-opposition radio station was attacked by unidentified men in the outskirts of Sri Lanka's capital on Friday, police said.

The managing director of the 'V FM' radio channel, Ruwan Sugathadasa was attacked by three men outside his house in Boralesgamuwa, 15 kilometres outside of Colombo.


'The reason for the attack is not known, we are investigating the matter,' a senior police officer said.

The incident comes less than a month after an anti-government newspaper editor was attacked and injured by unidentified persons in the northern capital of Jaffna.
