The National Police Commission (NPC) has issued a detailed statement rejecting allegations made by Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Priyantha Weerasooriya regarding interference in police transfers.
The NPC clarified that all transfers during the Acting IGP’s tenure were conducted in accordance with established procedures and further provided a breakdown of the approvals granted.
The dispute came into the spotlight after the Acting IGP, during a media briefing, accused the NPC of obstructing police operations by withholding transfer powers.Â
He claimed that without authority over transfers, his role as IGP was nominal. (Islandnews)
