A 44-year-old doctor serving in Badulla General Hospital has been arrested by the STF for selling narcotic capsules among schoolchildren.

Police said the doctor was arrested following a tip-off from a private informant.

Accordingly, a team of STF men attached to the Passara camp arrested the suspect while on board a car in the Badulla area.

The STF found 145 narcotic infused capsules in the possession of the doctor without a valid licence.

He was handed over to the Badulla Police for further investigations. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

Hope, GMOA may justify the act of DOCTOR, taking to the street to protest, and may go further to the extent calling TRADE UNION actions. These are the actions that doctors will do now a days.

Are you claiming the doctor is a Tamil so she wanted to ruin children of other races?

These are the doctors we are turning out. All money minded. They have received a full medical degree with tax payer's money. This is how they repay the people. Should be struck off.

Judge him once it's proven guilty. U ntil then reserve your judgement. Remember Dr. Shafi? When the leaders we elect are drug kingpins how can we trust their leadership ? Specially the ones who are accusing this doctor.
