Sri Lanka, June 9 -- An attempt to murder a suspected drug trafficker known as "Patthe Suranga" in the Mattakkuliya area has been foiled due to the vigilance of a police officer.

CCTV footage from last night (8) shows four individuals arriving in a van, attempting to assassinate Patthe Suranga.

At that very moment, a police constable from Mattakkuliya Police Station had arrived at the location, investigating another criminal.

The CCTV footage further reveals that the would-be assassins fled the scene upon the police constable's arrival.
