The Sri Lanka Police informs the general public that a letter currently circulating on social media, purportedly issued under the signature of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), is entirely false and fabricated.
The fake document falsely claims that the IGP instructed the “Bureau for the Investigation of Abuse of Children & Women” to apprehend citizens and non-citizens engaged in activities related to the viewing, possession, dissemination, distribution, or production of material depicting minors in sexually explicit conduct associated with internet protocol usage.
The Sri Lanka Police categorically confirms that no such letter has been issued by the Inspector General of Police or by any authorized division of the Police. This is a deliberate act of misinformation aimed at misleading the public.
The public is strongly advised to exercise caution and refrain from sharing, publishing, or endorsing such false content. Circulating fabricated documents not only misleads society but may also amount to a punishable offense under the law.
The Sri Lanka Police reiterates its commitment to upholding the law, protecting children and women, and ensuring that only accurate and verified information is communicated to the public.
For official updates, the public is urged to rely solely on announcements and press releases issued directly by the Sri Lanka Police Media Division.
