(November 4, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) As his superior officer is on an official visit to Uganda, acting Inspector General of Police, Pujitha Jayasundara, has been thrust into the limelight. His appearance before the National Police Commission, a long term dismantled commission, pushed the refresh button under the new government, to defend his department in an engagement of establishing the civil obedience. He was summoned by the commission for the hearing on the recent attacks on the protest organised by the students from Inter Student Collective for the Protection of Higher National Diploma in Accountancy (HNDA).
