An order for the IGP to appear before the Supreme Court

Date:

An order has been issued to Inspector General of Police CD Wickramaratne to appear before the Supreme Court.

This is due to the non-implementation of an earlier order to prepare a series of guidelines and submit them to the court to prevent cases of shooting deaths when people in police custody are taken out for various investigations.

Accordingly, yesterday (24th) the three-member Supreme Court bench comprising of S Thureiraja, AHMD Nawaz and Achala Vengappuli ordered the Inspector General of Police to appear before the Supreme Court on April 3rd.
