The Police opened fire to dissolve the public protest held in Rambukkana, Police Spokesman Nihal Thalduwa admitted.

The protesters who were blocking the railway had attempted to set a fuel bowser and a threewheeler on fire and in the Police’s response to dissolve them by launching tear gas the protesters had pelted stones at them, due to which the Police was forced to open fire, Thalduwa claimed.

One person was killed in the fire and ten people were hospitalised. The condition of three of them are reported to be critical.
