Police took Ven. Balangoda Kassapa Thera and two other Buddhist monks into custody this morning (12) while they were on a fast unto death outside the Ruwanweli Maha Seya in Anuradhapura.
Tensions flared at the protest site when an argument broke out between Kassapa Thera and others at the site and a group that included Ven. Rajangane Saddharathana Thera and several laypeople.
Saddharathana Thera suffered a bleeding head wound after members of the group at the hunger strike site allegedly attacked him.
