Milindu, you may be watching a serial drama where Wild Life Officers may go wild and say they obstructed their duties themselves and Mr.Priyantha Sirisena is not known to them.
However it is good to hear that culprits are brought to books and that the law of the land has been set in motion.
These all are tele dramas. Sri Lanka is not acountry that prevails real justice. These are the results of executive presidency.
