Sri Lanka police arrest staff of election's loser, The New York Times (2010)

After having accused the defeated candidate for presidential election, General Fonseka, of plotting to overthrow the government and assassinate the President, the police raided Fonseka's office and arrested 15 of his staff members. Fonseka rejected the election results and accused the government of stealing more than 1 million votes. As Fonseka announced that he is planning to run for a parliamentary seat, the post-election acrimony could continue until the general elections take place.
