The Editor of the Thamilan Tamil language newspaper wrote to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) today (12), alleging that two persons identifying themselves as officers attached to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrived at his apartment complex at 2.30AM today seeking to meet with him.
“I was told by the security officer this morning that they stood there with the same request for a long time even when the security guard refused to send them inside. They then commented in a threatening manner and left,” his letter details.
The Editor further informed the IGP that if he needs to be investigated, the officers can do so at his office.
“This incident has frightened not only me but also my family and my apartment residents. In what way is it fair to leave them all and come to interrogate me at 2.30 AM in the morning?” he asked.
It was further detailed that the Editor has a suspicion that some other individuals are attempting to threaten his life by posing as CID officers.
Accordingly, the IGP has been requested to conduct an immediate inquiry into the matter.
“I am asking for a genuine investigation into this,” he stated.
