Matara Magistrate Aruna Indrajith Buddhadasa yesterday (22) ordered the CID to complete all ongoing investigations against suspended IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon and other suspects within ten days and submit a progress report to the court.
Tennakoon appeared before the court yesterday, and the Magistrate also ordered that the case be postponed until 10 Oct.
The CID has launched a separate probe into the 2023 shooting incident at the W.15 Hotel in Weligama, as well as allegations of concealing evidence.
Deputy Solicitor General Sohan Abeywickrama appeared on behalf of the complainant, while Tennakoon was represented by a legal team including Mahesh Pramuditha, Dasaraj Dahanayake, Tharaka Nanayakkara, and Dhammika Ratnayake.
