Following the arrest of his brother Yoshith Rajapaksa, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa's third son Rohitha Rajapaksa warned the 'Yahapalana' government with a Facebook post.

"Dear Yahapalanaya..... You just stood on the tail of THE lion, now don't expect the lion, not to rip u in to parts" he said on Facebook, sharing a picture of Yoshitha Rajapaksa in handcuffs.

Meanwhile, he updated a profile picture which shows him with his two brothers, Namal and Yoshitha.

Yoshitha Rajapaksa was remanded yesterday over alleged fraud at Carlton Sports Network. He was charged under the Money Laundering Act.
