This follows reports that the Singapore authorities had refused the request on the basis that it could not be determined that Mahendran's conduct, if committed in Singapore, would constitute a criminal offence in Singapore according to the evidence presented by Sri Lanka.[16] In February 2015 CBSL advertised the sale of Rs.

1 billion in 30-year government bonds at a coupon of 12.5%[17] though several accounts erroneously cite an indicative rate of 9.5%.[18][19] Mr Mahendran stated that he grew perturbed that officials of The Central bank had advertised the auction for a very Low figure of Rupees one billion worth of government bonds when the government needed over Rupees 13 billion on the date of the auction and Rupees 172 billion in March 2015.[20] The sale was oversubscribed with 36 bids of totaling Rs.

20 billion.[18] The majority of bidders, 26, bidded for Rs. 100 million or less at a rate of 9.5%–10.5%.[18] However, a few bidders, including Perpetual Treasuries Limited, wanted interest rates of 11%–12%.[18] On 27 February 2015 an official tender board, which did not include Mahendran, accepted Rs.

10 billion in bids at rates of 9.5%–12.5%.[18] The issuing of ten times the advertised bonds, and at a higher than expected rate, was alleged to cost the Sri Lankan government an additional Rs. 1.6 billion ($10.6 million), though this alleged loss was disputed by the Leader of the House of Parliament.[21][22][23][24] A petition was lodged in the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka contesting the methodology used to allege such a loss.[25] Perpetual Treasuries was issued, directly and indirectly, with Rs.

5 billion in bonds at 12.5%.[26][27][28][29] Perpetual Treasuries was one of the primary dealers in the sale and is owned by Mahendran's son-in-law Arjun Aloysius.[19][30][31] The primary dealer had also appointed the sister of the former Central Bank Governor Ajit Nivard Cabraal onto the Board of its holding company.[32]

This situation became a controversial political issue in Sri Lanka as the newly elected Sri Lankan Government of President Maithreepala Sirisena came to power with a slogan of good governance in the country.

  • News: Colombo-based Swiss Embassy staffer arrested. 26 March 2018. The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka had earlier rejected a similar petition.[61] News reports state that Mr Mahendran has challenged the order through the International Police (Interpol).[62] Prime Minister Wickremesinghe made a statement in the Sri Lanka Parliament on 5 June 2018 stating that the Singapore government has refused to arrest Mahendran[6] Lawyers of the accused have made submissions to court contending that the presentation of the Commission of Inquiry CCOI) report in a court of law as evidence is not admissible as the COI does not formally follow the judicially recognised law of evidence.[63]

    On 28 June 2019, a case was filed at the Permanent High Court Trial at Bar by the Attorney General against Mahendran accused in the Central Bank Treasury Bond Scam and lost multi billions from Sri Lankan's public money.[64]

    On 16 June 2020, the attorney general of Sri Lanka alleged that, according to Interpol, Mahendran had changed his name to Harjan Alexander.[65][66][67] However, one of the publications that stated this subsequently carried a reference to Mr Mahendran using his original name, casting doubt on the authenticity of the quote.[68] Mr Mahendran published a rebuttal denying any change of his name alleging, inter alia, that the Sri Lanka Attorney General was instructed to sensationalise the case in the media on the instructions of the President.[69] The same Sri Lanka attorney general ordered the arrest of a staffer in the Swiss embassy in Sri Lanka which was strongly objected to by the Swiss government.[70] In a series of 3 rulings the Special High Court of Sri Lanka dismissed the charges against Mr Mahendran in 2022.[71][72][73]
