Investigations into Deshabandu’s mobile phone

Date:

Investigations are underway into the May 9 attack on the Maina-Go-Gama protest in front of Temple Trees and the Gota-Go-Gama protest in front of the Galle Face Green. Several persons including Members of Parliament and Heads of Local Government Institutions have already been arrested in connection with these investigations.

Police have also been accused of failing to prevent the attack on the 9th and providing security to the attackers. Senior DIG in charge of the Western Province Deshabandu Tennakoon has been sent on compulsory leave.

Deshabandu Tennakoon and a group of senior police officers have told the CID that the IGP and the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security had informed him not to carry out the President’s order despite the President’s order to stop the attackers.

Investigators have taken note of the statement and are conducting further investigations by seizing Deshabandu Tennakoon’s mobile phone. CID officers are working to ascertain whether the DIG’s phone calls and incoming calls were used to prevent the attack.
