Sir: Is this is what is called justice? An SHO of Tharushah Police Station who took a bold and timely action and prevented a marriage where a 70-year-old polygamist, already living with two wives, was marrying a 13-year under aged girl, was suspended by the superintendent when some influential people, who were invited to bless the wedding couple, staged a protest outside the police station. Most of the time, action and reaction of the top brass of police officials lack reason. People want to know the wisdom behind suspending such an officer. What sort of message was transmitted to other honest police officers? The answer to this question can only be provided by an official at the helm of affairs.
