Where is "පුස්සා". I thought he said he has found the mastermind or the leader. What about the equally "පුස්" joker in colourful fancy dress.

Endless suspects under police custody....custody.....custody......custody......, ultimately no punishment to those who committed Easter Sunday Attack. Ranil Wicremasinghe is roaming freely sans arrest.

Why Sirisena is not arrested yet? He was already implicated and charged as responsible for Easter Sunday attack
