Tangalle Division ASP Thushara Daluwatta, who allegedly assaulted a youth during a protest held in Hambantota last week, was transferred to the Matara Division by the National Police Commission (NPC) today .
Commission Secretary Ariyadasa Cooray said the decision was taken during the commission meeting held today.
He said a three-member committee headed by Dr. Mahinda Moragolla had also been appointed to look into the incident. Ananda Wijesooriya and Chularatne Gamage are the other members of the committee.
He said the NPC would take any further steps following the reports of the IGP and the three-member committee.
The NPC and Police launched separate investigations after ASP Daluwatta allegedly assaulted a youth who was arrested during the protest held against leasing out of the Mattala Airport to India. (Darshana Sanjeewa)

ASP had broken a cardinal rule by slapping a guy in front of a camera (actually camera was behind) He should have thrashed the thug when cameras were not around.

He made a huge mistake by cracking only one ear. He should have done it to both for these hooligans who still running behind losers. They still don't see that they are being used by these blood suckers.

This is a joke... He should have been at least taken out of active duty until the so called investigation that is going on. There is enough evidence that ASP had blatantly violated the HR of the accused who was in custody of two police officers.

If any police officer wants a transfer to his hometown slap a citizen who takes part in a rally

Is that all . ?. So the ASP gets a transfer to a better police station. He should have been stood down immediately.Also there is no alleged assault, it is an assault because any one can see the whole thing in the video.
