Army Intelligence officer, Major Chandana Pradeep, who was found guilty by the Army’s Court of Inquiry, was transferred from the Military Intelligence Corps yesterday, informed sources said.

“He was transferred to a shadow unit with effect from yesterday,” a senior military official told the Daily Mirror yesterday.

The decision has been taken after the investigation report of the Army’s Court of Inquiry, appointed to probe the alleged brawl between the Army Major and a government Minister’s son at a Colombo hotel, revealed that the Major had provided security to a businessman at the time of the incident using his service weapon unlawfully.

Major Pradeep was in charge of the Sri Lanka Army’s Colombo-South Intelligence wing. (SJ)
