In an unprecedented move, Sri Lanka’s Parliament has voted to impeach and remove Deshabandu Tennakoon from his position as Inspector General of Police (IGP).
This marks the first time in Sri Lanka’s history that a sitting police chief has been ousted through a parliamentary process.
The decision follows months of legal and political turmoil surrounding Tennakoon, who had been under suspension.
Earlier in March this year he had surrendered before the Matara Magistrate’s Court in connection with the 2023 Weligama hotel shooting incident.
