Who knows, many nefarious and illegal things would have happened in the past. This incident is a clear testimony to the fact that underhand activities are happening even now by making use of their position as intelligence officers. The saddest part of the episode is that invisible hands are always there to set the culprits free. No wonder that there’s no end in sight to drug menace in our society.

Well done Sri Lanka Navy ! Unfortunately, there will always be "maggots" even in the the most disciplined and exceptional Forces.
