According to local media reports MP Maheswaran was questioned for more than 3 and a half hours at her office in Jaffna yesterday. The statement was recorded under the supervision of a Superintendant of Police.
Speaker Karu Jayasuriya had earlier referred the matter to the Attorney General's Department, calling for a report on what legal action could be taken in this regard.
Thereafter the Attorney General informed the Inspector General of Police to promptly submit a report detailing the MP's statement. Vijayakala Maheswaran resigned from her post amidst outcry against her statement.
