It is strictly illegal under the Flora and Fauna Protection Ordinance to capture, hold, or exhibit wild primates for profit in Sri Lanka without a permit (which is never granted for roadside begging). They poach the babies by killing the mothers. Do not pay them. Take a photo of the location and report it to the DWC hotline.

Paying them only creates demand for more poaching. It is a cruel scam disguised as a rescue operation.
