Colombo (LNW): The Court of Appeal has ordered for the provision of enhanced security measures to Shani Abeysekera, the former director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), citing imminent threats to his life.
The order supplements the current security arrangements in place for the ex CID director. This decision was rendered in response to a writ petition filed by Mr. Abeysekera.
During the proceedings, Abeysekera’s legal representative conveyed to the court that his client currently benefits from the presence of only one police officer and one motorcycle as part of his security detail.
Consequently, the Court of Appeal has mandated the augmentation of his security provisions to ensure his safety and well-being.
