COLOMBO (News 1st); The Colombo High Court has scheduled the pre-trial conference in the high-profile corruption case against Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa for June 27, 2025. 

The case involves allegations of misappropriating Rs. 70 million in the infamous Krrish deal.

The decision was made today by High Court Judge Pradeep Abeyratne, following a previous indictment filed by the Attorney General’s Department.

Rajapaksa was previously arrested and later released on bail.
