By connecting her to the death even as an investigation was underway, certain social media, websites and other media are causing severe psychological trauma to the 15-year-old, said her lawyer Premanath Dolewatte.
The insults against her are very wrong, illegal and do not take political advantage out of the matter, he asked, adding the girl could not attend school due to her condition.
Dolewatte, accompanied by the girl and her mother Shashi Weerawansa, handed over the complaint to the NCPA, together with details of the accused media outlets.
He added the authorities promised to investigate the matter.
