Four unidentified men had thrown red chilli powder in the eyes of the policemen and fled when they tried to check them near a checkpoint at Kate junction in Point Pedro yesterday, police said.

Two policemen have been admitted to the Point-Pedro hospital.

On receiving information that a group of men were hiding near the checkpoint, the policemen had gone to the area and conducted a search. Suddenly, the men, who are believed to be Kerala-ganja transporters, had thrown chilli powder in their eyes and fled the scene.

A special search operation was launched to apprehend the suspects. (Srinath Prasanna Jayasuriya)

    Looks like it will be necessary to ban all kinds of chillies including chillie singer as well!

    These little things might become a major problem in the time to come. Keep wondering whether this govt has missed the trick via DM Android App

    here in the south an SI was shot dead, and there in the north a few policemen were attacked by drug traffickers. Do we need to read same kind of news differently?

    Please try not to spread this as an act of the LTTE. It is an act of the underworld.

    If they are from Kerala India and can violate law and order in sri lanka shoot them to death then no ganja smuggling and chilli throwing cant our police and govt understand them. If you do this in india what happens as a sri lankan

    Banda is right - little things lead to bigger things. We have already forgotten the lessons LTTE taught us!!!

    Wise Donkey Tuesday, 22 November 2016 12:12 PM

    I see this is why chili powder is expensive, it is being used for other than cooking.

    An odd comment (above) - the ltte has not taught anyone anything - they are a damned outfit!
