Thalangama Police OIC together with the Crime OIC, a sergeant and a police constable were arrested by the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) over allegations that they had obtained a bribe of Rs.2 million to obliterate the evidence on the killing of a former police inspector two months ago.

Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said the bribe was allegedly given by the victim’s wife, who is the prime suspect in the killing.

The arrests were made after the bank deposit slip was found by the CCD.

The woman’s driver is alleged to have deposited the money in the account of the Thalangama OIC.( Supun Dias)

This is the kind of system politicians are grooming in this country. Police officer supporting the killing of his own colleague. I can imagine the rampage our soldiers are carrying out in former war zone.

This is no revelation, daily occurrence. Ask any civilian how anything could be done in our country for a price.
