Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon was arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today.
It is reported that Deshabandu Tennakoon was arrested in connection with a case related to the ‘Aragalaya’ people’s struggle in 2022.
Deshabandu Tennakoon was named as a suspect in the case.

Tennakoon had sought anticipatory bail to prevent his arrest in connection with an ongoing investigation, but the court refused to grant the request after considering submissions. (Newswire)
