When the people of Sri Lanka took to the streets against the government, Prime Minister Raja Pakse was forced to resign and flee, and was replaced by six-time Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Numerous videos on the current situation in Sri Lanka have graced social media, including some videos of another incident linked to the son of former Sri Lankan Prime Minister Raja Pakse.
A similar video went viral on social media in which it can be seen that luxury vehicles were being set on fire but those vehicles did not belong to Raja Pakse’s son.

Sri Lankan Media shared the name of the user who shared the video with Fact Check and said that the video has been retweeted more than 10,000 times so far and received about 16,000 likes but this video is fake.
In addition, similar videos were received on the WhatsApp requesting to check its authenticity, which indicates that the same video is being widely shared in private messaging apps.
Later, the reality of the video came to light and the video of the burning of the said luxury vehicles is of Murree Gamma Road Avenra Garden in Sri Lanka in which the vehicles caught fire and all the vehicles were destroyed.
