Yoshitha Hands Over All Licensed Firearms as Per Defence Ministry Order

The Defence Ministry recently mandated that all licensed firearms issued for personal protection be surrendered, with the possibility of re-issuance after review.

Following this directive, Yoshitha Rajapaksa, son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, initially handed over five of the seven licensed pistols in his possession.

The Ministry has now confirmed that he has also surrendered the remaining two, finalising the process.
