Former Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon, currently remanded at Dumbara Prison in Pallekele, has been granted permission to consume home-cooked food.
The Department of Prisons approved his request, citing his specific needs.
Prisons Spokesperson Gamini B. Dissanayake also confirmed that Tennakoon has been relocated to a secure area within the prison following his request for enhanced security.
The Matara Magistrate’s Court recently ordered his remand until April 3 in connection with the Weligama W15 Hotel shooting incident.
