Assistant Superintendent of Police Neville Silva, the former Director of the Colombo Crime Division, has been ordered to be remanded until December 13 by the Ratnapura Magistrate’s Court today (10).
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested Silva yesterday (09) following an investigation launched in August 2023.
The investigation was initiated based on a complaint alleging that Silva acted in favor of a complainant while handling a case assigned to the Colombo Crimes Division.
The CID has since confirmed that Silva was involved in aiding and abetting an incident of abducting and wrongful imprisonment.
