He was rushed to the Colombo National Hospital following the incident, however succumbed to injurious soon after.
Madawala was among several members of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha who along with its Chairman took a stand against alleged corruption and irregularities taking place in the Kelaniya electorate.


Sri Lankan Buddhists believe that the Buddha visited Kelaniya in order to quell a quarrel between two Nāga leaders of two warring factions,
Luckily no murders in that era!
Innocent people were quiet
as the river Kelani
because the thugs
all around the holy city
with automatic guns
no way to visit Buddha now and
To whom we shout?
Still I love my Motherland!
