DIGs accuse IGP of tapping their phones

Senior DIGs complained to the police commission on November 24 that IGP Pujith Jayasundara has tapped their telephones and also obtained detailed bills.

They informed the commission that the telephone numbers included those belonging to journalists. Jayasundara has used TID’s DIG Nalaka Silva to do that.

The IGP was absent at the DIGs’ meeting with the police commission, attended for the first time by senior DIGs S.M. Wickremasinghe, who is in charge of the security of the president, and Chandana Wickremaratne.
