A 17-year-old girl preparing a venison curry was arrested by the Alawatugoda Police during a raid on a house at Vilanagama area. She was produced before Kandy Addl. Magistrate Mohamad Rafhi and fined Rs. 20,000.   

 The magistrate ordered to destroy the stock of venison.   

The police had carried out the raid on information from the public that a deer in the tea estate near the house had been killed and a stock of venison hidden in the house. When the police carried out the raid the suspect was caught preparing a venison curry.   

However the rest of the stock of venison could not be recovered. A police team under Upul Seneviratne had carried out the raid on the instructions of OIC Alawatugoda Police Sujeewa Gunatilleka.
