Devious IGP Harry Illangakoon!
Wednesday, 25 March 2015
What is now taking place in the Police Department goes on to show that IGP N. K. Illangakoon, aka Harri Illangakoon is very smart at the thief and the cop game. Due to these games by him, public order minister John Amaratunga and prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe are earning the wrath of all. That happens because of the false information he is feeding to websites and other media through third parties.
That is why top officials of the department call him Harri (taking sides for personal advantage) Illangakoon.
In order to secure his position, the IGP used a very smart method. He deployed DIG S.M. Wickremesinghe, who had headed Mahinda Rajapaksa’s security, for the security of president Sirisena, saying that he would be protected by the son of the Polonnaruwa farmer king. What he wanted by that was to secure his position, rather than the protection of the president. He tricked Wickremesinghe, who is dreaming of becoming the next IGP, by saying, “Now. I paved the way for your becoming the next IG. Take care of me too.”
It is also Ilangakoon, who had contradicted the allegation of the conspiracy against the state. Giving a statement, he said, “Nothing of that sort happened at Temple Trees on that night,” and planned to save the Rajapaksas (Soon after he gave the statement, a copy was given to us by someone not in the police. We did not publish it thinking that it would adversely affect the investigations). From that day onwards, the IGP has been playing many games, details of which are available to us. But, we have been waiting to get them double-checked.
Everybody serving under him knows that the IGP telephones and tells the former president and the former defence secretary about the status of the investigations against corrupt politicians. Also, he is publicly telling policemen involved in the investigations enthusiastically in order to discourage them, “Do not get human rights cases filed against you by dancing to everybody’s tunes.”
The IGP thinks that Mahinda Rajapaksa and his cohorts will return to power at the next general election. Therefore, he is intentionally sabotaging activities of the police department. A top police official who gave us the information, said, “Previous IGPs were devious. But Harri Illangakoon is smarter of them all.”
