The CID has commenced an investigation into a complaint made regarding protests in public places violating quarantine laws and endangering public health.
A statement issued by the Police Media Division stated that the investigations are being carried out into a complaint lodged with the CID by Damgalla Gamage Danushka Dilshan Gamage, Chairman of the People’s Justice for Justice organization, demanding that such persons be dealt with legally.
He has lodged a complaint on July 24 stating that no one has the right to create a serious health problem in the country by spreading public protests across the country at a time when the spread of COVID-19 has not completely stopped.
Accordingly, the CID is still investigating whether anyone has deliberately acted in violation of quarantine laws and contrary to the criteria issued by the Director-General of Health Services to prevent the spread of the disease.
