It is reported that a very serious allegation has been leveled against the Minister of Public Defense Sarath Weerasekara before President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
This is in connection with accepting bribes of Rs. 300,000 each for the transfer of OICs.
The best example of this is the transfer of the former Kosgama OIC to Headquarters Inspector of Police – Avissawella and many more such incidents have been reported.
The IGP has also informed the President that it will be difficult for him to maintain police discipline if this situation continues.
Sarath Weerasekara is currently receiving treatment at the IDH for Covid infection and sources say that a large number of police personnel are expecting the President to take a decision in this regard as soon as he recovers.
