ASP arrested and remanded over counterfeit documents reinstated in two days

Date:

H.O.S Withanage serving as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) attached to the Police Communication Division was arrested by the Police Special Investigation Unit for producing a counterfeit English diploma during an interview for ASPs and remanded upon being produced before the Fort Magistrate.

However, the suspect was released and reinstated in duty without being subjugated to any suspension of duty in a matter of two days, correspondents revealed.

Had a Police officer of any title below committed such an act, he would have been suspended of service by now. Why two laws operate in the same government body?
