Deshabandu: Former Big Boss Remanded Once the most powerful cop in the country, Deshabandu

Thennakoon has finally been dragged down by the very scandals that chased him for years. Arrested at his Mirihana home, he now faces charges of aiding the thugs who attacked peaceful protesters at Galle Face in 2022. 

He flaunted power, and lived like a king—with hidden houses, cellars full of foreign liquor, and a reputation for brutality. Courts branded him guilty of torture, a deadly raid in Weligama put his name on an arrest warrant, and Parliament kicked him out as the first ever impeached police chief.

From whisky bottles to handcuffs, Deshabandu’s fall is nothing short of sensational. The man who once ruled the law is now caught in its grip. Courts branded him guilty of torture, a deadly raid in Weligama put his name on an arrest warrant, and Parliament kicked him out as the first ever impeached police chief.
