The National Police Commission has decided to remove Senior DIG Nilantha Jayawardena, former head of the State Intelligence Service (SIS), from the Sri Lanka Police.
The decision follows a disciplinary inquiry into his conduct prior to the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings. Jayawardena faced severe criticism over intelligence failures leading up to the attacks, which killed over 250 people.
