A policeman and two state officials who were on election duty had died yesterday (14) due to sudden illnesses, Police Spokesman DIG Nihal Thalduwa said.
“The policeman died at Kopai while serving at a polling centre located in a school. The other two died at polling centres in the Kesbewa and Kobeigane police areas. We suspect that they died due to heart attacks,” the DIG said, adding that police had deployed over 3,100 mobile patrols to ensure a free and fair election on Thursday.
Twenty seven thousand policemen had been deployed to protect the polling centres, DIG Thalduwa said.
