Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa arrived at the Colombo High Court for the hearing of the bail application of his second son Yoshitha Rajapaksa.

Yoshitha and four others are in remand custody over the alleged money laundering at the Carlton Sports Network. All five of them have filed separate bail applications against the order to remand them.

The bail application was first considered by the High Court on February 17 and the court ordered the respondents to appear before court today.
