Why suspend? Does he require a holiday after this deed? Why not remanded like it happens to all ordinary folk under suspect?

Why was he arrested? Is he supporting the 'other' side now?

Something behind politics. The case is 2007. Why now promoted & suspended. Sometime refuse to do some political work.

Whilst appreciating the action against Bribery & corruption in general I must say that actions need to be taken against corrupted politicos as well. because this is a minor thing compared to mega corruptions done by politicos high caliber Police officials
I have heard about this person and he was to retire in Aug this year. and he was placed in Galle ahead of a another corrupted and this action is carried out purely on a targeted petition.

Is he interdicted or sent on compulsory leave? There is no suspension in public service
