A woman has lodged a legal case alleging that Sri Lankan cricketer Chamika Karunaratne is the father of her child and has refused to accept responsibility.
Speaking to the media after attending today’s court case, she said Karunaratne had failed to appear in court, citing illness.
“Chamika Karunaratne is this child’s father. As he has refused to accept responsibility, I have been forced to come to court seeking a paternity test. I am not sure if he will even appear at future court hearings. He wasted my time at the Women and Children Bureau while I was pregnant, and now the child is two months old. This child needs to live in Sri Lanka. I know he is the father. All I want is for him to fulfil his duties,” the woman said. (Newswire)
