The vacation-of-service notice which was issued by the Police Superintendent’s office in Galle to former Wanduramba Police OIC Inspector P.L. Keerthisinghe has been delivered to his house in Dadella, Police said.

Galle ASP L.R. Kumarasiri said the notice was issued because the relevant authorities had not accepted the former Police OIC’s resignation and had not reported for duty December 22, 2014 without obtaining approved leave for his absence.

He said this notice was issued in terms of Section 172 of the Public Service Commission Regulations as having vacated his post.

The former Inspector handed over his letter of resignation on December 22 after three suspects who were in Police custody were forcibly taken away by Deputy Minister Nishantha Muthuhettigama. He said he was unable to perform his duties because of pressure from politicians and higher ups in the police service. (D.G. Sugathapala and Sumathipala Deeyagahage)

Mr. Keerthisinghe, you will be looked after by the almighty god.

Where is FREEDOM OF CHOICE... ? A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.... UGH... He has all the right to resign from whatever his post is, NONE can stop it.. ACCEPTING OR NOT is not his problem. Come Jan 9th under MY3.. those who made the decision NOT to accept his resignation should be dealt with legally and put in place... He actually has to be promoted and the one who did not accept his resignation and want to penalize him should be demoted.. They need to switched places, so the SENIOR who is a bully would taste his own medicine....

Rupa Saturday, 03 January 2015 05:09 AM

Similar scenario when a former DIG Police in Moneragala District refused to cow down to the politicians

Must be re-instated with a double promotion to be the SSP of ASP Kumarasiri who failed to stand by his juniors

Waco Saturday, 03 January 2015 02:53 AM

What assistance were extended to the OIC by you as the ASP or by the HQI to re-arrest those three people and arrest Muthuhettigama ?Nothing.

Waco Friday, 02 January 2015 09:23 PM

How can you serve vacation notice to any one, who has already tendered in his letter of resignation, giving valued reasons?This is cussedness.

Waco Friday, 02 January 2015 09:18 PM

This amounts to harasment.He resigned from his position and not vacated.

jayanthi kaviratne Friday, 02 January 2015 09:12 PM

I am sure there were incidents where honorable police officers had resigned due to to similar situations. cheers to the gutty officer in this case.!!!!!!

chutta Friday, 02 January 2015 08:01 PM

At least there was a one man in the entire Police Department with a backbone.

Nimal Friday, 02 January 2015 05:39 PM

Another man of integrity hounded away from his post. Hopefully this is the last time.
