A former director of Krrish Company, Janaki Siriwardena, was ordered to be remanded until October 6 after being arrested by the Bribery Commission over allegations that she provided a Rs. 70 million bribe to MP Namal Rajapaksa.
Siriwardena was arrested today (24) after being summoned by the Commission in the morning to record a statement in connection with the allegations.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama ordered her remand after considering submissions made by Bribery Commission officials and the lawyers representing the suspect.
The Magistrate also directed the Prison Superintendent to facilitate the Bribery Commission in recording a statement from Namal Rajapaksa, who is currently in remand custody in connection with the same investigation.
