The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has identified former Minister Namal Rajapaksa as the fourth suspect in the Krrish case. This decision was announced by the CIABOC on 28 at the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court. Rajapaksa's involvement in the case stems from his role as the leader of the SLPP parliamentary group and his previous position as a former Minister.
The investigation focuses on a 4.3 acre land development project in the Fort area, which began in 2013-2014. The controversy revolves around a payment of Rs. 70 million made by the Krrish Group to Namal Rajapaksa to facilitate a land transaction. The Krrish Group, an Indian company, is also under scrutiny. The case has gained attention due to Namal Rajapaksa's prior involvement in the Airbus bribery probe, for which he was remanded on 24 September and is currently being held pending further investigations.
