Attempted  to Enter MR’s Residence Resulted in Arrest

An individual in possession of a sharp weapon attempted to enter the Colombo  official residence of former President Kurunegala District Parliamentarian Mahinda Rajapaksa last evening was arrested.

The 25 year old suspect had behaved  in a  suspicious manner  and  demanded  to see the former President and threatened to commit suicide,  if he was not granted a meeting.

It appears  that  he wanted to meet  Mahinda Rajapaksa regarding a personal  matter.  He expected Mahinda Rajapaksa’s assistance.

Further investigation are conducting into the incident.
