The 26-year-old cricketer was reportedly involved in a heated argument with his neighbour over a parked vehicle blocking the road. Bandara is alleged to have entered the neighbor's house and physically assaulted him. Sri Lanka Police are investigating the incident and arrested Bandara on suspicion.
“On Saturday evening one of the neighbours had complained of Bandara causing trouble, and that he had trespassed into someone’s house," the Sri Lanka police was quoted as saying by ESPNcrcinfo. “The verbal confrontation had then escalated into a physical one. He was arrested on suspicion of assault on Saturday night and bailed out on the same day."
