Why No one Arrested Despite Detection of Drugs In Containers? – Anura

Opposition Government whip  cum  JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake has raised questions  in Parliament yesterday under  the clause  2   of standing order  No 23.

 He said in November 2013 , 250kg of heroine  was detected  in a container  brought  from Pakistan. Former Prime Minister’s  Coordinating Secretary sent  a letter to the customs to  waive off   customs  duty in this connection.   This incident    pave way for the public  to know  the political  backing  involved  in importing   drugs.

On 24^th November 2016  customs  detected 200 kg of heroine  worth  200 million  inside  sugar  bags  in a container  imported  from Brazil.

In all these instances  only  the detections  are made  known to the public,  but there after   what happens  no one knows .  If there is a  strict  security  network  to detect  import of drugs, no businessman  will  dare  to import drugs in Srilanka.  He asked,  how these drugs  easily find  their way to  Srilanka  without being detected  at the country of export.

Strange  thing is that  though  detention  were  made    no one was arrested so far.
