An investigation is currently underway into the alleged importation of a consignment of illegal drugs into Sri Lanka, concealed in two containers transported from Pakistan and stored at the CICT Terminal of the Colombo Port.
As certain shortcomings and omissions have been identified in connection with the investigation, Inspector General of Police, Attorney-at-Law Priyantha Weerasooriya, has instructed the Police Special Investigation Unit to conduct an internal investigation into the matter.
The Police Media Division stated that the internal investigation will not impede or interfere with the ongoing investigation into the two containers seized in connection with the suspected illegal drug consignment.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the seized containers is being conducted by the Central Crime Investigation Bureau with the utmost transparency and in accordance with due procedure.
