February 01, Colombo (LNW): Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa is scheduled to appear before the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) on February 03, according to reports.

She is expected to attend at 9.30 a.m. to provide a statement regarding ongoing inquiries.

Shiranthi Rajapaksa, spouse of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, had originally been asked to appear on January 27. However, her legal team informed authorities that she could not attend on that date and requested a postponement of two weeks.

Police sources indicated that no medical documentation was provided to justify the delay, prompting the FCID to issue a renewed summons for February 03.

On the same day, Namal Rajapaksa, National Organiser of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna and Member of Parliament, has also been called to appear before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). He had previously sought a change of date, citing overseas commitments, and the new summons aligns with his return to the country.
