Sub-Inspector arrested for soliciting sexual bribe

The arrest was made based on a complaint by a resident from Gonapola and the suspect will be produced at the Horana Magistrate's Court following further investigations.

The suspect officer had solicited a sexual bribe in exchange for providing a document she required with regard to a lost motorcycle.

The complainant had requested the Police report as the finance company through which the motorcycle had been purchased had requested for it to be returned due to overdue lease payments.
