Bribery official who sought sexual favours from woman PC
- Jan 13, 2016
There is talk about an ex-police officer, now a top official of the bribery or corruption commission, who had sought a sexual bribe from a policewoman serving under him at the state intelligence service.
The woman PC had complained to superior officers and as a result, the man was given a punishment transfer out of the SIS.
Thereafter, he had received another punishment transfer while serving at the CID under DIG Punya de Silva to Horowpothana. The then president Mahinda Rajapaksa had appointed him as director of investigations at the bribery or corruption commission.
As a show of gratitude, he has acted to serve the wants of Rajapaksa, and closed several files against his ministers, including the files of Mahindananda Aluthgamage and S.B. Dissanayake. Despite a big voice raised by officers of the investigating unit, he had taken a unilateral decision. Due to his partiality to Rajapaksas, he had been retained. Following his retirement, this senior policeman was given a more responsible position under the ‘Yaha Paalanaya’ at the bribery commission, as its commissioner. Giving us the details, officers of its investigating division said they had no way of seeking redress.
