Thalangama police arrested an underworld member, known as ‘Navy Asanga’ yesterday. The accused has been wanted for several crimes throughout the country. Complaints against him have gone to books for years but no action has been taken as he was absconding police.

He is said to have been backed by a politician. A special police team had investigated whereabouts of the suspect and cracked down on him in the Thalangama area when he was travelling in one of his luxurious vehicles.
