A woman suspected of defrauding over Rs. 5 million from devotees promising divine cures for different ailments was arrested by the Aralaganwila police after a complaint was made by a Kurunagela businessman who had given Rs. 2.3 million to cure his child.
The suspect is reported to have charged Rs. 30000 to 40000 from a single devotee to cure their illnesses. The victims in many cases had pawned or sold their belongings to come up with the necessary funds to pay the suspect.

the kurunegela businessman must have been very influential,else if this complaint came from an ordinary person this action would have never been taken.
