Court condemns the duplicitous actions of the CID for not arresting officers who did not take action to prevent the May 9 attack

Date:

The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has strongly condemned the duplicitous actions of the CID in not arresting the officers who neglected their duties and led to the devastation without taking action to prevent the May 9 attack on the Galle Face protest site.

When the case was taken up yesterday (19), Maithri Gunaratne, PC, representing the aggrieved party, had drawn the court’s attention to the non-arrest of Senior DIG Deshabandu Tennakoon in connection with the incident, while Colombo Magistrate Thilina Gamage had questioned CID officials in this regard.

The CID had stated that although statements had been recorded regarding the actions of the relevant officials, the veracity of those statements should be ascertained.
