Residents of the Matale town who had seen the officer taking out the boy from the boot of his vehicle, which had been parked near the Matale clock tower on Friday had alerted journalists.
Journalists in turn had hid inside a trishaw and captured the officer returning with the boy, who was carrying some bags. The retired DIG then had stuffed the boy into the boot of the vehicle again and sped away .
