Sri Lanka's ousted President Gotabaya Rajapaksa returned home in the early hours of Saturday after fleeing the country in July, a senior security official said.

Rajapaksa resigned after protesters angered by a debilitating economic crisis stormed his office and residence, reports Reuters.

He had fled to Singapore via the Maldives and then spent the past few weeks in Thailand.
