As a part of interrogation, he should be forced to consume part of the staff.

This is a serious case detected by Sri Lanka's Customs. Congratulations for them. Wonder whether police will be able to release the details of this criminal's local network? Will it get swept under the carpet.

I have read more than 20 times of pakistanis caught with heroin in the last year itself. I hope this is a sign of more of them being caught and not more of them coming.
