Sri Lanka’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has reportedly recorded a statement from Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Mujibur Rahman as part of an ongoing investigation.
The move follows findings by investigators that 53 telephone calls had allegedly been exchanged between the MP and a suspect currently in prison over alleged drug trafficking activities.

The information reportedly emerged during an investigation launched after authorities seized a mobile phone from the imprisoned suspect, who is believed to be linked to drug smuggling operations.
During a detailed forensic examination of the device, investigators allegedly identified the call records connecting the suspect and the parliamentarian.
