This guy must have thought he will not be caught.

This is not a rare case. Open your eyes in Colombo. Kandy. Negambo and Industrial areas. You could be seen number of Indians work in different sectors. such as Jewellery, Steel, Fabrication, Food industries and services like Hotel, Indian restaurants etc. Most of them live and work without valid visa.
If authorities really want to catch them; raid these places please.

This has been practicing for quite long time. Though it is illegal I have sympathy on this trader.
