IGP calls for report on Keselwatte Police’s ‘B Report’ on lawyers

 

Inspector General of Police (IGP) has instructed the Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) of the Western Province to submit a report pertaining to the incident in which a ‘B’ report was filed by the Keselwatte Police against  a group of lawyers over  a protest staged on 18 January.

Speaking on the matter, Police Media Spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa stated that the relevant ‘B’ report had been filed by the Keselwatte Police unknown to both the IGP and the Legal Division of the Police Headquarters.

Accordingly, the Western Province SDIG has been informed to submit a report on the matter promptly, Thalduwa assured. Meanwhile the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) has also called for a detailed report on the matter, citing concerns as to what grounds such a report was filed on.
