Cop, mother and wife launch protest opposite Buttala police

By Norman Palihawadana

A Chief Inspector of Police attached to Madolsima police over the weekend launched a protest opposite Buttala police, alleging that a complaint he made had gone unheeded.

The police officer’s wife and his mother, too, have joined the protest. Buttala police said that the CI was on leave prior to retirement. Sources said the protest has resulted from a dispute over a hotel owned by the Chief Inspector’s brother, who is a serving army officer.
