Pujith was partial towards Upasaka Liyanage

Sep 18, 2016

Incumbent IGP Pujith Jayasundara has acted in a biased manner in dealing with activities of Kandy police when he was the senior DIG in charge of central province, it has now been revelaed. He has given special privileges to his friends and contemporaries. Due to this biased conduct by the then DIG, 18 cases being heard at the Kandy high court had been affected.

One of the recipients of the privileges from him was leading businessman in Kandy, Upasaka Liyanage. Kandy police had acted in a biased manner with regard to the 18 cases filed by Sisira Bandula Gunasekara against Upasaka Liyanage and his wife in the Kandy magistrate's court. Also, in the case filed by Bandula Gunasekara against lawyer Anura Jayasundara in the Kandy magistrate court (no. 33345), the DIG had acted partial towards the lawyer.

 

A resident of Hewaheta in Kandy, Bandula Gunasekara says Pujith Jayasundara had acted in biased manner, sometimes towards the complainant and other times towards the accused, in complaints filed with Kandy police. He says he has informed the president, PM and the attorney general about this. During the period Pujith Jayasundara was the senior DIG, the advisory committee of the Kandy police had businessman Nimal N. Peiris as its member. Peiris is one of the key suspects in the Hantana sexual abuse case.
