Suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon has surrendered to the Matara Magistrate's Court a short while ago.
The Matara Magistrate's Court had earlier issued an open warrant for his arrest in connection with a 2023 shooting incident that took place outside the W 15 hotel in Weligama, which resulted in the death of an officer from the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD).
The Court of Appeal on Monday (17) dismissed a writ petition filed by Mr Tennakoon seeking an interim injunction preventing the execution of the arrest order issued by the Matara Magistrate's Court.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
