Sri Lanka, Aug. 20 -- Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with investigations into the Galle Face attack on Aragalaya protestors.

He had previously filed a bail application seeking to avoid arrest and be released on conditional bail; however, the request was rejected when he was summoned before Fort Magistrate Nilupuli Lankapura today (20).
