Police sources report that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) questioned former IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon for approximately an hour yesterday (08) concerning allegations that two underworld criminals were staying at his residence in Kandy.
The inquiry is linked to the investigation into the shooting and murder of Hiran Kosala, the manager of the Ambalangoda showroom of a leading electrical appliance company.
