Police Launch Probe into DIG and SSP Over Sudden Wealth Surge
A major investigation is now underway into two high-ranking Sri Lankan police officers who have allegedly accumulated unexplained wealth. The sudden millionaire status of the officers has triggered widespread public concern, prompting action from the Police Assets Investigation Bureau.
The officers in question are a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), both of whom are now under scrutiny following multiple complaints received about the suspicious expansion of their personal assets.
According to early findings, the complaints allege that the two officials have built up significant financial holdings over a short period of time raising red flags about potential corruption, misuse of power, or illicit income sources.
The Police Assets Investigation Bureau is currently examining bank records, property documents, and financial transactions linked to the officers to determine whether the assets were legally acquired or not. Authorities have so far remained tight-lipped about the exact nature and value of the assets in question, but sources say the figures involved are “substantial.”
This case could set a major precedent in Sri Lanka’s fight against public sector corruption, especially within its law enforcement institutions. If proven guilty, it would raise troubling questions about accountability and ethics at the highest levels of police leadership.
Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
