In 2017, the group returned to extremism and spread hatred again. The Sri Lankan government tried a number of the group leaders on charges of ridiculing Buddhist statues and hurting the feelings of Buddhist society.
Months before the terrorist attack, the group was also accused of vandalizing Buddhist temples and threatening the local population.
