Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Thennakoon is reportedly preparing to resign. This comes ahead of an impending no-confidence motion against him in Parliament.
Thennakoon’s close associates have advised him that resigning before the no-confidence motion is passed and he is removed from office would be the more appropriate course of action.
The IGP is currently being held at the Bogambara Prison under a court order extending his remand until the 3rd.
