In a shocking incident at Katunayake Airport, 22 individuals dressed as Buddhist monks have been arrested following the discovery of 110 kilograms of cannabis valued at approximately Rs. 1.1 billion in their luggage. The monks, returning from Thailand, are suspected of being part of a larger drug trafficking network. While authorities have launched investigations, the incident has drawn condemnation from prominent religious leaders who denounce the misuse of sacred robes by imposters. The court has issued detention orders for the suspects as authorities continue to assess the implications of this significant drug haul.
