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

He appeared before the CID earlier today following a summons to provide a statement regarding his alleged connections with underworld kingpin 'Kehelbaddara Padme'.

Rajapaksa had earlier requested a new date to appear before the CID as he was overseas when initially summoned.
