Sri Lanka, Jan. 28 -- The Attorney General has filed an indictment against Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa, accusing him of criminal misappropriation of Rs. 70 million in connection with the Krrish transaction.

The indictment, submitted to the Colombo High Court, alleges that Namal Rajapaksa misappropriated the funds received from the Indian Krrish company under the pretense of promoting rugby.

The Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division had previously reported the matter to the Fort Magistrate's Court. Namal Rajapaksa, initially arrested as a suspect in the case, was later released on bail.
