The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has formally named SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa as the fourth suspect in the ongoing investigation into the alleged Krrish transaction. The case remains before the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court as proceedings continue.

The development comes as authorities continue examining the details of the alleged transaction. The CIABOC has been investigating multiple individuals in connection with the case, which falls under its mandate to examine allegations of bribery and corruption involving both public and private sector figures.
No further details regarding specific charges or the nature of allegations against Rajapaksa have been disclosed at this stage. The investigation is expected to proceed through the magistrate's court, where additional submissions may be made by investigating authorities.
