Meanwhile, Bodu Bala Sena chief Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera says the youths turned unruly after police failed to explain its measures against those responsible for the death of a person in an assault incident in Teldeniya.

He told the media that had they been told that the suspects had been arrested and remanded, the incidents would not have taken place.
