  • Sarath Weerasekara orders crackdown on negligent supervisory cops

  • Special police teams for probes

  By Dinitha Rathnayake   Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekera has instructed Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chandana D. Wickramaratne to take strict action against police officers whose subordinates engage in criminal activities. Police Media Spokesman Senior Deputy Inspector General (SDIG) of Police Ajith Rohana said that the Police would take action against such officers whose junior officers, under their supervision, commit offences. “The superior officers would be dealt with under the police disciplinary code due to their negligence in supervising. The reputation of the Police is at stake due to the actions committed by certain policemen; actions which are disapproved of by the Sri Lanka Police.” Accordingly, special police teams have been deployed in order to conduct investigations against the police officers of the supervisory grade, especially the officers in charge of police stations and units, under whose supervision are police officers who have committed offences under the Penal Code, legal statutes, and the police disciplinary code. Several illegal activities have been committed in recent times by policemen, including sexually harassing a girl at the Neluwa Police Station and two police officers taking fuel from police buses and selling such to third parties. Meanwhile, the Organised Crimes Prevention Division arrested three suspects who were in possession of a total of 52 kg of heroin on 18 June during a special operation carried out in the southern parts of the country, especially in the Ahangama, Hikkaduwa, and Baddegama areas, where one of them has been identified as a Sub-Inspector of Police attached to the Kalutara South Police.
