A Red party leader swung into action on a tip off given by a local party activist that there was a sea plane concealed in an outbuilding of the residential premises of the deposed Big Boss at Tangalle.

The authorities soon took action to locate in the vicinity of the suspected place of concealment a few security personnel in civvies for surveillance and dispatched a Police detail armed with a search warrant obtained from courts.

The housekeeper who was at the residence when the Police party arrived told them easily that they were free to look up every nook and corner of the premises. And the search operation began in earnest. Meanwhile, one officer in a raised voice announced that he spotted the sea plane behind an outbuilding. The Police party who rushed to the spot were amazed to find a strange contraption which if viewed from a distance would look like some kind of aircraft. “This is really a plaything for children,” the housekeeper who accompanied the officers explained. “They can sit inside it and pedal it. When it is pedaled, the blade fixed in front starts whirling like a rotor blade on a helicopter.”

Policemen of the search party who looked sheepish thanked the housekeeper and left the place in a hurry.
