Sri Lanka’s Inspector General of Police, Deshabandu Tennakoon, has been found guilty of serious misconduct and abuse of power by a parliamentary committee.
The committee’s report recommends his removal, marking the first time in Sri Lanka’s history that a police chief faces impeachment. The Speaker of Parliament outlined the procedure for his removal, and party leaders will decide when to debate the resolution. The inquiry was prompted by allegations including criminal ties and involvement in a shooting incident.
The race to appoint a new police chief has already begun as the scandal shakes the nation’s law enforcement leadership.
