Four persons accused of setting a hotel said to be owned by former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s youngest son Rohitha Rajapaksa on fire and damaging its property were arrested by the Kolonna Police.
The suspects, aged 25 – 50 and residents of Kolonna, were arrested on August 22 and 23.
The hotel located in Gongalakanda, Kolonna was set on fire on May 10, following a series of escalations triggered by the brutal attack launched by pro-Rajapaska protesters against the anti-government protesters in Colombo a day earlier.
The Kolonna Police are conducting further investigations.
