Just eye wash.
Don’t expect much from this.
They will go to trial and be released pretty soon.
Obviously these Tamil fools crossed a line by threathening suddha and suddha’s money some how (i.e. bogus charities). When it is established their intentions are not to harm suddha but Sinhalese they will be released and continue as before.
