More FR petitions against IGP at Supreme Court

5 May, 2019

A father who lost two children in the Easter Sunday bomb attacks at St. Anthony’s Church Kochchikade filed a fundamental rights petition in the Supreme Court, urging the Attorney General to prosecute the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Pujith Jayasundara.

Saman Nandana Sirimanne lost his daughter and his son in the Kochchikade explosion.

The petitioner prays court to direct the Attorney General to investigate the IGP for his inaction and prosecute him.

According to the petitioner, the IGP had received a report regarding the planned bomb attacks by an extremist religious group earlier and he had failed to take action to prevent it.
