Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) Lalith Pathinayake, who had been serving as the Acting Senior DIG in charge of the Police Administration Division, has reportedly been removed from the position by the National Police Commission pending disciplinary action.
Despite this, Pathinayake will continue in his role as the Senior DIG in charge of the Central Province.
Meanwhile, the National Police Commission has approved the appointment of Senior DIG Sanjeewa Dharmaratne—currently overseeing the Western Province—to the post of Senior DIG in charge of the Police Administration Division, which became vacant following Pathinayake’s removal.
SDIG Dharmaratne is also functioning as the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), as IGP Priyantha Weerasuriya is presently overseas.
