Ven. Rajangane Saddharathana Thera, a monk who is famous on social media, has been arrested by the police in the Anuradhapura area.

The Buddhist monk was reportedly arrested following a complaint by Ven. Pahiyangala Ananda Sagara Thero regarding the statements made by Ven. Saddharathana Thera, which are harmful to religious harmony.

He is to be produced before court today.
