A mahout found with 100 grammes of heroin before the Kandy Esala Perahera began has been arrested by the Police. The mahout had accompanied an elephant from a temple in the suburbs of Colombo. As a result of the arrest, the elephant did not take part in the Perahera.

Meanwhile, an ambulance driver of the security forces was arrested with three T-56 live ammunition. The detection was made during a scan at a check point. In a separate incident, a schoolboy rugby player from Colombo was arrested with two cartridges when he was trying to enter the perahera area. All three are due to be produced in courts.
