REFUGEE

SSP Ajith Munaseinghe who served as the Director of the VIP Security Division has been transferred with immediate effect in to the Tourist Police as its director by the IGP, sources from the Police Headquarters said.

SSP Ajith Munasinghe is the brother of Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka’s wife Anome Fonseka’s (Munasinghe) brother.

Although the transfer is been reported to be a routine transfer that takes place after a new IGP assumes office, it is reliably learnt that the transfer was made following an order by Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
