Brownhill is a top neighbourhood, like Colombo 7," he said referring to posh residential area in the capital."The government is taking them over because they are ownerless," he said.Rajapaksa has been questioned by the police and is currently on bail over several probes.- <a href="http://www.economynext.com/Sri_Lanka_to_confiscate_mansions,_millions,_linked_to_Rajapaksa_regime-3-5836-10.html" target="_blank">http://www.economynext.com/Sri_Lanka_to_confiscate_mansions,_millions,_linked_to_Rajapaksa_regime-3-5836-10.html</a>[YOUTUBE]30trfzYb0sg[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
