next to be promoted to IGP??

Amith Monday, 29 April 2013 03:32 AM

It is very shame to say I am a Sri Lankan, I feel really guilty for not having done anything against this. Will this earth bare this unjustice? We criticize international community for asking about human rights. But who will justify favoration and biasness to politicians?

GC Monday, 29 April 2013 03:36 AM

Appalling.

Sarana Simion Monday, 29 April 2013 03:36 AM

The public of Kollannawa shouted so much for a Bun & packet of milk. What if they were given a bit more. How uneducated, stupid and shamless people of Kollonnawa are?

bodu show Monday, 29 April 2013 03:42 AM

Police: Salute Sir! Duminda: Aney machang,,, people: deyyo sakki

Andrew Pitugala Monday, 29 April 2013 03:48 AM

Senior Police Officer saluting a murder suspect.
Police will have to set the same standard and salute all criminals. They will take it upon the innocent civilians.

ANTON Monday, 29 April 2013 03:53 AM

SALUTE TO THE CORRPTION

Maha Rajanani Monday, 29 April 2013 03:51 AM

hik.

MayIwin Silva Monday, 29 April 2013 03:56 AM

The whole police department should be ashamed of themselves for saluting a suspected criminal. What has he done to the country? Can the same salute go to the former General?

Prasadan Monday, 29 April 2013 03:52 AM

They will now start providing security for his business !!

Malli Monday, 29 April 2013 04:05 AM

Invictusrilankan Monday, 29 April 2013 05:00 AM

PRASANNAJIT Monday, 29 April 2013 05:00 AM

What a shame. Whole world can see what the status of our Police. But what can we do to save this country. We are helpless.

janak Monday, 29 April 2013 05:01 AM

Ashmd 2BA SLankan Monday, 29 April 2013 05:11 AM

This is how Aadambara Piya wants the police to behave in front of his main actor. Imagine how our Police will act, if an innocent commits a minor offence

Matalan Monday, 29 April 2013 05:29 AM

This is a World Record - A Senior Police Officer saluting a murder suspect on bail, while the latter is unresponsive and seated! - Says too well to where this country has sunk.

vipula Monday, 29 April 2013 05:39 AM

Police might say that Duminda is only a suspect in a murder case and not a convicted criminal, and therefore saluting is OK. Then salute all the unconvicted criminals! Shame Shame!!!!

Yehiya Monday, 29 April 2013 05:37 AM

There are nothing wrong with the English law.The wrong part is voters.

surain Monday, 29 April 2013 05:48 AM

Shame on you police..remove your pants and bow down as wel

VILLAGE IDIOT Monday, 29 April 2013 05:51 AM

What USA can do for this country is that take out all its educated and decent people out of the country and leave the Politicians and other idiots who applause these dramas alone so that they could do the so called "DUMMALA WARAMA" in Sri Lanka.

AM Monday, 29 April 2013 05:47 AM

Rahmathullah M. H. Monday, 29 April 2013 05:59 AM

Shame to the uniform. This photo itself is enough for the international community to assess the prevailing law and order situation in Sri-Lanka.
