    How many kingpins are there??? We have heard there is at least one kingpin in Parliment... But he seems he was missed by the police ..

    Even in a big country like mine, which is India , no police force conducts indefinite operations like what is going on in Sri Lanka. It is brainless as it is slow paced and that only allows criminals to have sufficient time to flee Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka should have asked us for guidance and assistance then we would have sent our Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) units to lead this operation and we would have successfully wrapped it up in a fast operation by trapping all major criminals in Sri Lanka within few weeks .

    Most of them are innocent people.

    But the job done by the Police is partially unjustifiable, as majority of the innocent people with no idea of committing any crimes are too arrested.

    A great victory for the drug lords, who are actively supported by the fraudulent money launderer and his convicted torture friend on the orders of criminal politicians. The Yukthiya operation removed many competitors and drugs from circulation, which increased the price of drugs and thus profits.
