A Police Constable (PC) attached to the police headquarters who posted a video of his girlfriend’s naked upper body on social media sites was arrested by the Computer Crime Investigation division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Saturday (15).

The suspect has allegedly forced the girlfriend who is also a Police Constable to show her upper body during a video phone conversation and had recorded it.

It has been revealed that the suspect is heavily addicted to ‘ice’ drugs when he was examined by the Judicial Medical Officer.

The Woman Police Constable (WPC) has shown her body to the boyfriend while she was wearing the uniform on or around August 12, 2022 when she was attached to the Millaniya Police.

The incident had taken place when she was at the Millaniya Police Women’s Quarters.

The police revealed that the two have been meeting occasionally in private and the boyfriend has secretly videotaped them having sex.

The victim has ended the relationship with the suspect after being disappointed in his behavior and then he had published the videos on social media sites.

The WPC has only gotten to know about her nude photos and videos being shared on social media sites on July 6.

Accordingly, she has complained to the Computer Crime Investigation Division on July 7.

The PC was arrested following an investigation.

Currently, the WPC is attached to the Divulapitiya Police.

Meanwhile, the Negombo Assistant Superintendent of Police has conducted a disciplinary inquiry into the incident and has suspended her since she was wearing the uniform in the videos.

It is the first visit by the head of the multilateral lender in 20 years, following an invitation extended by President Anura Kumara Disanayake last year.
