The IGP has instructed the Police Headquarters Special Investigation Division to immediately initiate a probe against Bandarawela Police HQI over his conduct with regard to the arrest of the mother of the infant who was abandoned at the Minagaya train on Friday.
Accordingly, the probe will be carried out over the conduct of the Chief Inspector of Police with regard to the arrest, questioning, and inappropriate steps during the process, inconveniencing the mother.
The HQI has not followed the circulars issued by the IGP on how to deal with children and women.
