IGP helps DIG accused of rape

2009-10-05 | 6.20 PM

Sources from the Police Department allege that the IGP was not taking any disciplinary action against the accusations of rape and sexual harassment leveled against acting DIG of the southern area in the Eastern Province, Ranjith Wijesundera due to the continuous supply of meat sent to the IGP from Ampara.

The IGP has taken action against the police officers who have complained against DIG Ranjith Wijesundera on his alleged sexual harassment even against female police constables.

Female Sub Inspector Niluka Palipahana who was in charge of the Women and Children’s Bureau at the Ampara Police who had complained to the Police

Headquarters of being sexually harassed by the DIG has been immediately transferred to Colombo. She was then transferred to the Narahenpita Transport Division and later to Kandy. The IGP has acted to transfer her three times within six months for complaining against the DIG.

The DIG in question had even taken steps to evict the female sub inspector from her official quarters in Ampara through a court order.

Police sources also say that the DIG has also made unwanted overtures towards the wife of disabled police officer Inspector Chaminda Thilak Jayasena who lives in the Ampara police quarters. The police officer was injured and left blind in one eye during the LTTE attack on Vellaveli in Batticaloa on March 13, 1996. He has three children and his wife was a teacher.

However, she had left her job to look after her injured husband and three children and it is in such a scenario that the DIG has started to make unwanted overtures towards her. Three officers in the Ampara Police have also threatened her to agree to the DIG’s requests.

The disabled police officer had complained about this issue to the IGP on August 10, 2009 and in response, the IGP had transferred the three police officers who threatened the wife to a police station in Kandy and the disabled police officer has been transferred to a police post in Kurunegala.

The disabled police officer had then made an appeal to Coordinating Secretary at the Defence Ministry, Mithra Gankanda to look at the transfer on a humane manner due to his present situation. The Police Department had then transferred him to a police station in Kandy.

The IGP who has taken steps to transfer every police officer who has complained against sexual harassment allegedly meted out by DIG Ranjith Wijesundera has allowed the accused continue in his post in the East.
