Yoshitha Rajapaksa, the second son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today (25), according to the Police Media Spokesman.

 

He has been arrested by CID officers in the Beliatta area this morning (25).

Accordingly, Police Media Spokesperson SSP Buddhika Manathunga stated that the arrest was made to facilitate further legal action in line with the Code of Criminal Procedure Act.
