The police is always in action to create a justifiable society but public cooperation is at stake. "Hundred and twenty two suspects were taken in for questioning following raids in Panadura police division on Monday night. Police also arrested 97 errant drivers for violating traffic laws". He said 22 men and women were arrested in connection with drug trafficking. Students must refrain from getting involved in vice and drug activities. The SSP said recently there were allegations that a suspect in Moragahahena police custody had been murdered by police. But the JMO, Colombo certified that the suspect had a fall and death was due to injuries on the head. So how can that be a murder? he asked. |
