Richest crooks are at Havelock city. Rather than chasing small fish Deshapandu should raid Havelock city.

Many of them arrested ignoring the laws relating to arrest. These arrestees do not have the capacity to dispute and contest these situations in Court

Have the members of the Rajapaksa Mafia Clan been arrested? Have politicians involved in the drug and kassipu trade been arrested? Was the former health minister arrested? Has human rights violator and torturer Tennakoon been arrested? Have the Sri Lankan officials responsible for the Easter attacks and those who failed to prevent them been arrested? Have war criminals like Silva been arrested? Before arresting small sprats who are being fed in overcrowded prisons at the taxpayer's expense, the dangerous felons who have caused more damage to the country than thousands of petty criminals combined must be put behind bars forever. After that, a well-planned operation should be carried out against organized crime before dealing with the petty criminals. The current operation is amateurish and only serves to keep criminal officials in their positions.
