Police said the suspects were arrested on charges of causing damage to public property.
A group of angry mob had attacked the hospital in the wake of the death of a one-and-a-half year old child at the hospital on August 28.
The residents claimed that the child, a resident of Delthotawatta, who was brought to the hospital after a sudden illness had died because of the delay in attending to the sick child by hospital authorities.
A doctor’s car and several windows of the hospital were damaged while a hospital doctor had also been attacked by the mob.
