During investigations, another 20 Zamadol pills, 16 grams and 900 milligrams of Kerala Ganja and heroin were found in the teacher’s home where the man is reported to have hidden drugs removing them from time to time for selling.

The STF had also recovered nine swords from the teacher’s home. The pills had been sold to children at Rs.400 each.

The suspects were handed over to the Kandana Police and will be produced before the Negombo Magistrate today. (Darshana Sanjeewa)
