The Attorney General has instructed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to transfer Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) to another division. The matter has been communicated in writing.
The decision to transfer SDIG Thennakoon comes in on the concern that the investigations into the assault on the GotaGoGama on May 09 may be interfered.
Meanwhile a motion has been filed in the Colombo Magistrate Court seeking the arrest of Thennakoon.
