During the 2022 Sri Lankan protests after armed loyalists of former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa launched a violent attack against peaceful protestors violence erupted against government politicians. In the town of Nittambuwa, Athukorala's vehicle confronted a mob during which Athukorala's body guard opened fire, killing a man and wounding another. He later escaped along with his bodyguard and sought refuge in a nearby building, where they were later found dead.[a][4]
Notes
^Initially it was disputed if they were killed by the mob or if both committed suicide, but subsequent investigations revealed they had been beaten to death by the angry mob
