The Officer In Charge of the Rattota Police station was relieved of his duties following an alleged sexual assault on a female Gramaniladhari Officer earlier this year.

The decision was made by the Inspector general of Police Pujith Jayasundara yesterday (18), following a request made by the National Police Commission.

A complaint was lodged to the National Police Commission in April, against Inspector Kapila Senarath Dissanayake who was serving at the Ududumbara Police station at the time for sexually assaulting a female gramaniladhari officer in Ududumbara.

It has been reported that the OIC was relieved of his duties following an investigation into the complaint that was lodged against him.

The Police Officer, who was arrested in connection to the incident on October 11, was produced before the Teldeniya Magistrate’s court where he was released on bail.
