A father who had pressured an OIC to release his son claiming to be a high-ranking officer of the Police Department has been arrested and remanded. The OIC of the Payagala Police has been pressured by a telephone call to release a suspect involved in an assault.

A youth was arrested recently in connection with a clash between two parties in Wadugoda, Payagala.

Later, the father of the youth had called the Payagala OIC on his mobile phone on 22 October stating that he was the Director of the CID. He has stated that the arrested person should be released, or the OIC in question will be transferred,

However, the OIC has started an investigation with an official note and both parties have been summoned to the police station to make a statement regarding the incident.

At that time, the OIC had taken a call to the same number that he received the call alleging to be the CID Director, after which the suspect's father's phone had begun to ring at the same time.

It was revealed that he had pretended to be the said high-ranking officer. The Kalutara Magistrate's Court had taken steps to arrest the suspect and remand him until the 2nd of this month.
