  
The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court has ordered Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa and former Krrish director Janaki Siriwardena to remain in remand custody until November 6. The directive followed the court’s refusal to grant bail to the lawmaker, who is currently in detention alongside Siriwardena.
The legal proceedings took place before Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama. During the court session, a bail application submitted on behalf of Rajapaksa, designated as the fourth suspect in the case, was taken into consideration. Chief Magistrate Bodaragama ultimately rejected the application, instructing that the Parliamentarian be held in remand prison through the designated date.
