Pandemonium breaks out at Soma Thera s funeral

I witnessed the story. A group of people started distributing fliers with no author. It claimed that the murder was planned by a group of Buddhist priests with Alle Gunawansa thero. One man had a bible in his hand. Some people warned them not to make divisions in the Buddha sasana. I informed the police about the possibe danger of erupting violence. Finally some police officers got orders to arrest these people with an organized intension to create violence. Then the police arrested a man and they had to drag him to the police car. Then the public got agitated and things went out of control.
