The Acting IGP has directed the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) to inquire into the incident where a group of security personnel of a VIP attacked a van at Kalagedihena, Police Spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said today.

The incident was reported from Kalagedihena yesterday in which security personnel of a VIP motorcade attacked a van for allegedly not allowing the vehicle convoy of the VIP to proceed.

The violent attack, captured on camera, had taken place on the Colombo - Kandy Main Road at Kalagedihena.

The video of the incident shows security personnel getting down from a defender vehicle and a luxury jeep and attacking the van from the drivers’ side.

Why Police wait for IGP's Order, when the victim has called the Police Emergency Line. What is the use of Police Emergency if the IGP has to give Orders to them. It is their duty. IGP should investigate why the Police Emergency did not act
