Court imposes overseas travel ban on former IGP
View(s):An overseas travel ban has been imposed on former IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon by the Matara Magistrate courts yesterday, following a request made by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
The request was made after CID officers had searched Mr. Tennakoon’s residence and failed to locate him.
On Friday, the Matara magistrate’s court had ordered the arrest of the former IGP and seven other officers of the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) over a shooting incident that took place in front of a hotel in the Pelena area of Weligama, Matara, on December 31, 2023.
A CCD team had travelled to the area to arrest a suspect without informing the area police in Weligama. Policemen had opened fire at the CCD due to a mistaken identity, and one of the police sergeants had been killed in the shooting.
The deployment of the CCD team was found to be illegal and therefore the court ordered the arrest of the former IGP and seven others.
