The police say that they have identified two people who broke into the presidential palace and went into the swimming pool and bathed using soap.

 It has been revealed that one of them is a local council member residing in a remote village in the Badulla area and the other is a resident of the Talawakele area.

A police team is currently conducting investigations to arrest them.

Recently Defense Secretary Kamal Gunaratne mentioned that Sri Lanka became a laughing stock in front of the world when these people went down to the swimming pool of the Presidential Palace and publicized the scenes of bathing in the soapy water through the international media.
