COLOMBO: Sri Lankan police have arrested an astrologer after his prediction that President Maithripala Sirisena would die last week proved to be wide of the mark. Vijithamuni Rohana de Silva, a 52-year-old former sailor in the Sri Lankan navy, was hauled before magistrates in Colombo on Wednesday where he was granted bail on a bond of two million rupees ($13,300). “He was arrested following an investigation into a complaint from the media ministry that his false predictions had caused unrest in society,” a official who asked not to be named told AFP. Prosecutors said de Silva wrote a series of blogs over the past six months that foretold Sirisena’s death last Thursday, January 26, but the day passed off peacefully for the president.
