Sri Lankan Prime Minister's private home on fire

Ananya Saha: Sri Lankan police on Sunday arrested three people for setting Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's private residence on fire a day earlier amid massive anti-government protests, media reported. 



A group of angry protesters entered Wickremesinghe's private residence in Cambridge Place on Saturday and set it on fire amid massive public protest in the country over the unprecedented economic crisis. Among those arrested are a 19-year-old Mount Lavinia resident and two Galle residents aged 24 and 28, the Colombo Page website reported, citing Police Spokesperson SSP Nihal Talduwa.
