By Ranga Sirilal and Andrew Caballero-Reynolds - Sri Lankan police raided the office of losing presidential candidate General Sarath Fonseka on Friday, an aide said, two days after troops had surrounded him inside a hotel on suspicion he was plotting a coup.
"The police Special Task Force broke into the office of Sarath Fonseka," aide Asanka Mahagedara told Reuters.
A Reuters journalist saw police commandoes outside the location of Fonseka's office. A police spokesman could not immediately confirm if there had been a raid.
