Two suspects who allegedly had connections with the underworld figure known as “Makandure Madush” were arrested in Matara by the Police Special Task Force officers today(11), police said.

The Organised Crime Investigation Division (OCID) and Police Special Task Force are conducting further investigations with regard to the firearms and drugs which were in possession of the suspects at the time of their arrest.

Meanwhile, The Interpol issued notices for the arrest of two underworld leaders Kosgoda Sujee and Makandure Madush last December.
