Investigations into the alleged death threats against the ex-Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka, Janaka Ratnayake have been handed over to the Colombo Crimes Division(CCD).
Police spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa said the investigations have been handed over to the CCD on the directives of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of the Western Province.
Janaka Ratnayake had filed a complaint with the Kirulapone Police on Monday (Oct 16) claiming that he had been issued death threats and had been demanded money.
Ratnayake was removed as the Chairman of the PUCSL after a motion was passed in Parliament in May this year.
The Parliamentary motion was presented after several spats between Ratnayake and Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera, ranging over various matters, including electricity tariff revisions and duration of power cuts. (NewsWire)
