A Chief Inspector attached to the Weliweriya Police Minor Offences branch swallowed two Rs. 5000 notes which he had accepted as a bribe when he was confronted by bribery officials yesterday, the police said.

According to investigations, the CI had initially accepted a sum of Rs.15,000 to resolve a vehicle dispute but he had ended up swallowing Rs.10,000 when he was caught.

The CI was admitted to the Gampaha Hospital where he is under treatment while doctors attempt to remove the cash notes. (Thilak Nimalasooriya)

    This is very common in Sri Lanka you cannot get any work done without offering a bribe to the peon or the officer in a Government Department. When politicians earn big money than what they earn the ordinary man also tries to do the same. As such accepting or soliciting bribes should be made a non punishable offence in Sri Lanka.

    Best thing to do is to scrap the police department altogether, and recruit all police personnel anew with strict conditions on discipline, discipline and discipline.

    As with all other facets of Sri Lankan society, The Sri Lankan Police too have run aground in complete indiscipline and corruption. This is the 2nd top news on indignation on Poice today. No earnings, no manufacture, no exports but lorry loads of corruption.
