Sources from the diplomatic community say that Indian High Commissioner Alok Prasad during his term in office in Sri Lanka entered into several lucrative business deals, especially with his company Lal Mahal receiving special state patronage courtesy Basil Rajapaksa.
Lal Mahal had been assigned to import rice, sugar, flour and other essential items and had also received permission to import fuel after the government cancelled an order from Malaysia.
Parliamentarian Nirupama Rajapaksa’s husband, Thiru Nadesan had also coordinated the transaction between Alok Prasad’s Lal Mahal and several state contracts related to telecommunications and the Northern railway line. |
