The security forces have uncovered a large scale racket of spying on the police or the navy after extorting hundreds of thousands of rupees from various individuals claiming to be being sent to Australia and loading them into boats.

More and more people are trying to flee to Australia or other European countries due to the crisis in the country.

However, it has been revealed that the smugglers, who knew that they could not take the group to Australia, charged them hundreds of thousands of rupees and then spied on the police or the navy over the phone after boarding the boats or sailing in the sea.

As a result, many people are imprisoned by the police or the navy with only their belongings and it is reported that they have lost hundreds of thousands of rupees paid to the smugglers.

Police investigations have revealed that some of the smugglers had paid hundreds of thousands of rupees for a boat and then disappeared into the sea with the help of a boat.

Police say that the human trafficking is being carried out in Chilaw, Negombo, Batticaloa and Trincomalee.

Some smugglers say that a boat preparing to sail to Australia is stranded in the deep sea, so it is advisable to board a small boat or vessel to reach the deep sea.

It has also been reported that people who are deceived by smugglers go to the high seas by small boats on the coast with the intention of escaping to Australia and search for high-powered boats and trawlers to be sent to Australia, but after realizing that there is no such boat, they become very helpless.

The Navy has arrested nearly 250 boats trying to sail to Australia this year.

Meanwhile, the Navy says that the Australian authorities will never allow such entry into the country and that those who go to Australia illegally will be deported back to Sri Lanka.
