The widow of former IGP Lucky Kodituwakku has complained of death threats.

Mrs. Lakshmi Kodituwakku has told the Mt. Lavinia police that she had received several telephone calls threatening her with death.

"You will be killed", the caller had repeatedly threatened her, she has complained.

The two policemen guarding her residence have also been recalled by the Mt. Lavinia police and this was an injustice done to her, Mrs. Kodituwakku had said.

IGP T. E. Anandarajah said an investigation into the complaint of death threats is underway.

Asked why the police guard was removed, IGP Anandarajah said that if police personnel were to be deployed to guard the former IGP’s residence, the same facility will also have to be extended to the others as well.
