Lanka police chief surrenders after weeks on run
Gulf Today
|March 20, 2025
Sri Lanka’s fugitive police chief surrendered to authorities and was remanded in custody on Wednesday, weeks after his arrest was ordered over a botched raid that killed a fellow officer.
-
A magistrate in the southern town of Matara ordered Inspector-General of Police Deshabandu Tennakoon to be held in custody until Thursday, when his bail application will be considered.
Tennakoon stands accused of authorising an ill-fated drug bust in 2023, allegedly against internal regulations, that sparked a gun battle between competing police units.
He surrendered after police raided his private home on Tuesday, and seized over 1,000 bottles of liquor, his service revolver, and two phones.
