A formal program to stop crimes
“If we take shootings, we have investigated them and arrested the suspects. We are also working on a more elaborate program. For this, we have a plan to get the support of other institutions, especially the tri-forces, and the public,” says IGP Priyantha Weerasuriya.
He said this while speaking to the media after visiting the Mahanayake Theros in Kandy today (17). The IGP said that they are working to suppress these crimes by getting support from the tri-forces and the public.
The IGP also said that some underworld activities and drug trafficking have received some political blessings as well as the support of some police officers.
“Drug trafficking did not happen instantly, nor did underworld killings happen instantly. Certain political blessings were received, support from the police and officers was received, personnel from the tri-forces were used for this, drug addicts were used for this. So these operations are being carried out by a group of negligent individuals who have gone abroad. We are working with the international community on these.”
The IGP also said that certain underworld activities and drug trafficking have received certain political blessings as well as support from certain police officers.
