The report of the Committee of Inquiry probing allegations of gross abuse of power against suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandhu Tennakoon has been handed over to Speaker of the Parliament, Jagath Wickramaratne.
Addressing the Parliament today, Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne said the committee of inquiry has found Deshabandu Tennakoon guilty of all charges.
He further said that the committee of inquiry has recommended Deshabandu Tennakoon’s removal.Â
In April 2025, a three-member investigation committee was appointed on the removal of suspended IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon from office.
The committee is headed by Supreme Court Justice Preethi Padman Surasena, with Justice Neil Iddawela and National Police Commission Chairman Lalitha Ekanayake the remaining members.
The committee was appointed after a resolution to appoint a committee of inquiry to investigate the removal of Deshabandu Tennakoon over alleged misconduct and abuse of power was passed in Parliament in April. (Islandnews)
