    VIP vehicles don't have number plates either, they should be arrested as well. Who knows who they are? Same treatment for all!!

    One main reason for chaos in SL is ppl just read a news and forget about it. We have to be alert on what happens next. Then only things will change in SL. Gov uses this habot of short memory of ppl. Mark this incident and watch what happens to the investigations.

    This is not news - can see many vehicles running in Colombo without number plates in broad daylight - where is police then?
