The son of a tele actor, from the underworld, broke the pub's door and assaulted the owner.

With the darkness of the night, what now reigns in Colombo's sleepless nightclub culture is not the law of the land, but the cynical law of the underworld's inhumane revenge.

On the night of the 7th, an armed gang broke into a leading nightclub in Colombo, forcibly knelt its owner, and inflicted a cruel punishment by completely cutting off his hair. According to a senior police officer in charge of anti-underworld operations, this brutal act was orchestrated by the son of a recently deceased popular teledrama actor, who has currently fled and is hiding in Dubai.

This young man, who fled the country when he was about to be arrested on criminal charges, had this crime carried out by his associates. The nightclub owner, a businessman, had to endure this inhumane humiliation with great fear and shock. The most terrifying fact is that the entire process of cutting hair and kneeling was streamed live via the thugs' mobile phone to their underworld leader hiding in Dubai. After everything, the group fled into the darkness, threatening the owner with death if he complained to the police, warning him of severe consequences.

This incident is not an isolated crime, but clearly an extension of Colombo's latest culture of underworld revenge. Last November, another underworld gang broke into a nightclub in Kollupitiya, believed to belong to this actor's son, shaved the heads of all three of its employees, dressed them in women's clothes, and made them dance, inflicting inhumane torture. That humiliation, carried out by the gang of 'Welle Saranga', a drug trafficker hiding in Dubai, was also revealed during police investigations to have been broadcast live via WhatsApp technology on that day.

The punishment given that day by dressing them in women's clothes and making them dance has been answered today by kneeling and cutting hair. It is doubtful whether the revenge of this young man, who is building his own terror amidst the dark shadows of the underworld instead of his father's artistic image, will end here. The most serious question facing society is how much longer criminals, who cannot be caught by the law, will live luxurious lives abroad and play with the lives and dignity of people in Sri Lanka.

If the law fails to silence this latest underworld terrorism, which is broadcast live through smartphone screens, Colombo's night will undoubtedly be much more drenched in blood and tears.
