Colombo, Jan 27: As Mahinda Rajapaksa gains a massive lead in the Sri Lankan presidential polls, seeds of violence seems to have surfaced as army troops surrounded the hotel occupied by main challenger retired General Sarath Fonseka.
On the information that army deserters were among 400 people present inside the lake-front luxury hotel here, armed Lankan troops were deployed around the building.

He, however, clarified that Fonseka is not a target and that he is free to leave the hotel.
