Colombo, Oct. 18 (Daily Mirror) - A special police investigation has been launched into an unusual incident where a flower garland was found placed around a photograph of Chief Woman Police Inspector Varuni Keshala Bogahawatta, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the Women and Children’s Bureau at the Mirihana Police Station.
The investigation is being carried out under the supervision of an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) on the directions of Nugegoda Division SSP Mangala Dehideniya, police said.
According to initial reports, an unidentified person had visited the Women and Children’s Bureau during a time when the OIC was not present and had hung a white flower garland on her framed photograph displayed in the office.
Police are now probing whether the act was intended as an attempt to intimidate the officer or done for some other motive.
Chief Woman Police Inspector Bogahawatta is currently receiving treatment at the Narahenpita Police Hospital after contracting fever, sources said.
She had been transferred from the Matara Headquarters Police a few months ago to take charge of the Women and Children’s Bureau at Mirihana Police Station.
