The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) today (24) claimed that the Inspector General of Police, Pujith Jayasundara, had on 18 April, authorized the transfer of 12 officials attached to the State Intelligence Service (SIS), just days prior to the Easter Sunday attacks which took place on 21 April.
Parliamentarian Rohitha Abeygunawardena revealed this at a press conference held at the Party headquarters.
He also produced supporting documents, on these transfers, purportedly signed by the IGP, containing the names, current status and the transferred divisions of the said SIS officers.
Abeygunawardena further claimed that those Intelligence officers, who were transferred, were those who tipped off the authorities regarding the impending attacks that were set to take place on Easter Sunday.
