So, are we going to refer too this to the Sri Lankan Human Right Commission? Let us see. They are the right people to investigate and pass the judgement.
Death case is another thing and the “loud noise” should ban everywhere which is polluting envioroment. It’s very high in private transport busses and passengers are troubled by force with loud noise. Three wheelers also same. Then musical shows everywhere randomly disturbing in high level with loud noises. Also many shops in towns produce loud music noises and damage the ears of public by force. This should stop and the people deserve right to keep their ears free from loud noises.
