Deputy Minister of Public Security Sunil Watagala alleged that a Police official who was instrumental in a drug raid has been transferred on false charges attributed to an intelligence report.
The Police officer was attached to the Maharagama Police station and was subsequently transferred to Mullaitivu, following a drug bust, the Minister said.
Upon inquiry, the Minister said he was informed that intelligence reports indicated that the Police officer had an illicit connection to a drug trafficker, based on which the officer was transferred.
“A considerable number of people visited us at the Ministry to inquire into this transfer, stating that the Police officer was responsible for drug busts in the area. At least 10 to 12 people in the area came to us to attest for the Police officer” the Minister said.
The Minister said therefore that the Police must take great care in their duties, adding that he does not wish to find fault with the Police. (Newswire)
