According to Sri Lanka's Justice Minister, a violent confrontation between two inmate factions that left 26 dead and many others wounded was triggered when certain prisoners reported drug smuggling activities to the authorities. The Minister explained that this move infuriated a rival group, leading inmates to assault guards using bricks and wooden poles. In response, prison staff opened fire as an act of self-defense.
