Colombo, Jan 20 (Daily Mirror) – A leaked audio conversation between a police officer and a female lawyer, suspected of representing a relative of organized criminal Ganemulla Sanjeewa who is being held at the Weeragula Police Station, has surfaced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is alleged that during the conversation, the lawyer engaged with an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) from the Narcotics Unit and attempted to offer a bribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was reported that a team of officers from the Police Narcotics Bureau was dispatched to investigate a house in the Makilangamuwa area related to the drug trafficking case involving Ganemulla Sanjeeva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources said that a woman identifying herself as a lawyer representing a relative of Ganemulla Sanjeewa intervened at the location, urging the officers not to search the particular house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawyer, a resident of the Gampaha area, allegedly tried to bribe an ASP of the Narcotics Bureau after her attempts to obstruct the search had failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A formal complaint has been filed with the Bribery or Corruption Investigation Commission regarding this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
