A group of naval personnel attached to the North Central Naval Command and Special Boat Squadron apprehended two Indian nationals attempting to smuggle 425g of heroin and a stock of tobacco products (Beedi) via sea by a small fishing boat (Vallam) into the country last week.
The suspects were held in the Sri Lankan territorial waters, east of the Mannar Lighthouse. The arrested Indian nationals along with heroin, fishing boat and tobacco products were handed over to the Talaimannar Police for onward action.
Ajith Gallage, the owner of a Bird Park in Nagarawawa, Hambantota, has been remanded over allegations of concealing illegally imported motorcycles, in a warehouse owned by him.
