Three officers attached to Police Stations in the Matara Division have been suspended from duty over misconduct at a spa in Matara.
The suspension order was issued by the Acting Superintendent of Police (ASP) for the Matara Division.
The three officers had reportedly visited a spa located in the Walgama area of Matara, where they engaged in a heated verbal exchange with the manager.Â
They then allegedly attempted to obtain services from the establishment free of charge.
Following a complaint, an investigation was conducted, and the officers were found guilty of the allegations.
As a result, disciplinary action was taken against them on charges of conduct detrimental to police discipline, misusing their official position for personal gain, and engaging in disgraceful and corrupt behaviour.
The officers were identified as Sub-Inspectors serving at the Matara Division Intelligence Unit and the police stations in Thihagoda and Mawarala.
The Matara Police Superintendent’s Office is conducting further investigations into the incident. (Islandnews)
