Sri Lanka, Feb. 3 -- Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) National Organiser and Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa left the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) a short while ago after recording a statement for more than four hours.

MP Rajapaksa had arrived at the CID earlier today in response to a summons to provide a statement regarding his alleged connections with underworld figure 'Kehelbaddara Padme'. Police sources said he had been previously summoned to appear before the CID but had requested a new date as he was overseas at the time, following which today's summons was issued.
