Yoshitha Rajapaksa, son of former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa, was arrested on Saturday over corruption allegations in a property purchase case. The ex-navy officer was detained in Beliatta for alleged misconduct related to a holiday home in Kataragama, acquired during his father’s presidency before 2015. Last week, his uncle, ex-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, was also questioned about the same property. This follows increased scrutiny of the Rajapaksa family under President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s government, which has pledged to address corruption from Mahinda Rajapaksa’s 2005–2015 tenure. Mahinda’s eldest son, Namal, has also faced questioning in a separate property case. Investigations continue. PM Narendra Modi Welcomes Re-Naming of Cultural Center in Sri Lanka’s Jaffna As ‘Thiruvalluvar Cultural Center’.
