The Matara Magistrate’s Court has ordered suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon to be further remanded until Apr 10 in connection with the 2023 shooting incident near a hotel in the Pelena area of Weligama.

Tennakoon, who had been subject to an arrest warrant, surrendered to the court by submitting a motion on March 19, after evading arrest for nearly 20 days.
