When the beauty queen Pushpika De Silva could finally crown herself with the title «Mrs. Sri Lanka »Sunday, there was complete confusion on stage.
The winner of the nomination for 2020, Caroline Jurie, strongly disagreed with who ran away with the victory this year, and was quick to take the crown off De Silva’s head – possibly a little too harshly. She claimed that the recent beauty queen could not get the title because she was divorced.

Miss queen injured in stage quarrel
Then she placed the crown on the other finalist, which led to a crying De Silva running off the stage. De Silva has since regained the title, after the organizers were able to confirm that she is still married. However, she is separated.
In the days that followed, it went so far that the police became involved, and now report BBC that Jurie has been arrested for the incident.

Must appear in court
The background for the arrest is that Jurie, as mentioned, tore the crown off De Silva’s head, which is said to have led to head injuries for the recent beauty queen.
De Silva herself revealed this on Facebook, where she wrote, among other things, that she had been treated in hospital for head injuries after the incident. De Silva also wrote that she would sue for the “unreasonable and insulting” way she was treated.
