The Police officer who got vocal today at the public protest at Galle Face Green, over the ongoing crisis, has been taken in for questioning by the Police Special Investigations Unit.

The Police officer who is a sergeant attached to the Kuttigala Police Station and was joined at the Galle Face agitation site, now re-named by protestors as Gota Go Gama, went vocal over the ongoing issues in the country and appealed to other police officers and triforce personnel not to defend those at fault.

His comments were recorded on video and soon spread on social media.

Sources said the police sergeant was today evening taken in for questioning by the SIU and disciplinary action will be taken against him. (DSB)

Why is he allowed to take part in a protest?

No disciplinary action, but SACK him. His move proves that this police personnel works for anti-government force. This person undoubtedly seems a lower-cast TRAITOR so is Sarath Fonseka.
