The name of a prominent state minister and a leading female politician from Colombo have surfaced in the list of politicians who had reportedly received money from PTL chief Arjun Aloysius.

The Criminal Investigation Department have come up with these names after having checked numerous bank accounts and related documents in their custody.

More details of this state minister, presently said to be maintaining a close relationship with the leaders of the joint opposition, are expected to unravel in the courts proceedings to follow into the Central Bank bond scam.

The investigators have also recorded several statements from the private staff of the female Colombo politician regarding encashment of cheques for amounts yet unknown.
