CID probes fake police document circulated on social media

Colombo, July 25 (Daily Mirror) - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has launched an investigation into the circulation of a forged document falsely attributed to the Acting Inspector General of Police, which has been widely shared via WhatsApp and other social media platforms.

Police said that the document, distributed as a PDF file, falsely impersonates official police communication. 

It has reportedly been circulated using several unauthorised email addresses, including [email protected] , [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
