An underworld figure known as ‘Sifaq’ was shot dead by an unidentified man at his house on Sri Saddharma Mawatha, Maligawatta last night.

Police believe the killing was carried out by rival group. The deceased, believed to be a leading drug dealer, was at his home when the gunman arrived in a three-wheeler and opened fire. Sifaq was pronounced dead on admission to the General Hospital last night.

    Very honorable, Noble men import in Kilos and tons, and they are out of reach of Law and Order. It is the other small fellow who sells in milligram who is branded. Who knows, may be he tried to cheat the big Boss and got bounced for his attempt to delay payment.
