The surrender of Julampitiye Amare who was accused of attacking a JVP rally in which two persons were killed last month has led to the arrest of 10,648 suspects against whom arrest warrants had been issued.

The Police Headquarters said the raids were carried out in Anuradhapura, Ampara, Puttalam, Polonnaruwa, Kilinochchi, Panadura, Negombo, Kelaniya, Mount Lavinia, Kalutara, Gampaha and Colombo areas during the past 21 days.(Supun Dias)

However, why did the Police initially try to mislead the general public about the shooting at the JVP rally?

What about Sudharman Radaliyagoda. He moves with high ranking police officers. I think they do not have eyes.
