Sri Lanka, Aug. 26 -- Security has been tightened for Additional Solicitor General, President's Counsel Dileepa Peiris, following an intelligence report that organised criminals hiding in Dubai are planning to harm him.

Peiris is a key figure representing the Attorney General's Department in several high-profile and controversial cases, including the case against former President Ranil Wickremesinghe and a case involving former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon.

A special police team has reportedly been deployed to ensure his protection.
