Colombo Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ujith Liyanage was arrested moments ago by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), following allegations linked to a treasure hunting incident in the Anuradhapura district.
CID investigations revealed that the DIG had visited the site in question, leading to his arrest earlier this morning.
On August 14, eight individuals—including the DIG’s wife—were apprehended while allegedly engaged in excavating a hidden treasure in the Thimbirigaskadawala area of Sravasthipura, Anuradhapura.
