    Any legal actions against those who used unnecessary force that resulted in a death?

    The number of deaths rose significantly, following the 20th amendment unlike before as it was the will of the wise and intelligent people of Sri Lanka. So nothing wrong, isn't it?

    Will the Police require that the deceased person's relatives provide the coffin as in the case of Mahara shooting?
