Over 100 Sri Lankan MPs from the ruling National People's Power coalition have petitioned the Parliament Speaker to remove suspended police chief Deshabandu Tennakoon, citing his alleged abusive conduct and disrepute to the office. Tennakoon is in custody due to a 2023 shooting incident. Removal requires parliamentary amendment and a committee recommendation led by a Supreme Court judge.
