Three policemen-a Sub Inspector, a Police Sergeant and a Police Constable- have been interdicted over the recent incident at a police checkpoint in Aluthgama, Police said.
An investigation had been launched by the SSP Kalutara over a video circulating on social media which shows a 14-year-old autistic boy at Dharga Town in Aluthgama being allegedly harassed by Police officers on May 25 during the curfew, the Police said.
“These policemen have been interdicted for failing to carry out their duties,” the police media division said in a statement.
