CIABOC records Namal Rajapaksa's prison statement in the Krrish bribery investigation
Regarding Namal Rajapaksa
What happened?
CIABOC recorded a statement from Rajapaksa in Colombo Remand Prison concerning the alleged Rs. 70 million Krrish/Transworks Square bribery matter, following the 24 September court order permitting it. Onlanka, citing the Bribery Commission, reported the statement was recorded on 25 September; India Today/PTI independently reported the questioning occurred on 26 September. This one-day discrepancy between sources is unresolved.
What changed?
This is the court-authorised questioning actually being carried out, not a new arrest, charge, indictment, or additional remand order in this matter. Rajapaksa's custody status is unchanged - he remains in remand in his separate Airbus-related proceedings.
What happens next?
No confirmed next step yet. No further court date or outcome of this investigative step has been publicly reported yet.
