Police Narcotics Bureau sources reveal that the millionaire businessman from Galle, considered the main suspect in the incident of importing 111 kg of Kush and Hash drugs, worth over one hundred and ten crore rupees, into the country in the luggage of twenty-two monks who arrived from Thailand, is currently hiding in Delhi, India.
Investigations have revealed that this businessman had been staying in Bangkok during the period when the group of monks was touring Thailand, and with the seizure of the drug consignment by the police at the airport, he fled from that country to Delhi. The Police Narcotics Bureau is currently taking the necessary steps to obtain a red notice with the assistance of Interpol to bring this suspect back to the country.
The police state that this businessman, a resident of the Galle area, had traveled to Thailand a few days before the monks departed for Thailand, and that he had spent crores of rupees for this entire trip. Information has also been revealed that on a previous occasion, he had arranged a free trip to Thailand for a group of monks, and it is suspected that he used this method to operate the drug network. Investigators believe that after the arrest of the suspect businessman, a lot of information about other individuals behind this large-scale trafficking operation will be revealed.
On the night of April 25th last year, when these twenty-two monks arrived at Katunayake Airport after completing a four-day tour of Thailand, they and the drug consignment cleverly packed in their luggage were arrested by the Airport Unit of the Police Narcotics Bureau. The monk residing in a temple in Kadawatha, who is said to have organized this trip, along with two other individuals and the twenty-two arrested monks, are currently remanded in prison. This drug consignment, packed in twenty-two pieces of luggage, is also considered the largest drug consignment ever attempted to be imported into the country through an air passenger's luggage.
