Colombo (LNW): Former Director General of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) Dilrukshi Dias who was under suspension over a controversial voice tape allegedly revealing a telephone conversation between her and Chairman of the Avant Garde Maritime Services Nissanka Senadhipathi has been acquitted by the Public Service Commission.
A voice tape of a telephone conversation allegedly between Senadhipathi and Dias, who at the time served as an Additional Solicitor General of the Attorney General’s Office, was circulated on social media in 2019, and she was temporarily suspended from work on September 24, 2019.
