Police Media Spokesperson SP Jaliya Senaratne says that the recent allegation against the Police on taking a 14-yr old boy with Police to find his father has been misinterpreted by the media.
SP Senaratne noted that the Police did not apprehend the minor, but had requested him to accompany the Police unit to locate his father, who was in another area, reports “The Morning” newspaper.
Accordingly, the minor acted as an accomplice to locate the suspect who is his father, and it was only the minor who knew where to locate him, Police Spokesman said.
