Attorney-at-Law Rakhitha Rajapakshe, the son of former Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, has been arrested by Sri Lanka’s Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), according to multiple local media reports.
Local reports said Rakhitha Rajapakshe and Charith Abeysinghe, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) organiser for Horana, were taken into custody by the Bribery Commission.
Some media outlets have reported that the arrests are linked to alleged connections with organised criminal figures. However, as of now, the Bribery Commission has not publicly released detailed official information outlining the specific allegations or charges. (Newswire)
