The Attorney General's Department today informed the High Court trial at bar that former Central Bank Governor Arjun Mahendran has changed his name to Arjan Alexander.

INTERPOL has informed the local law enforcement authorities that Mahendran has changed his name in Singapore.

The former Central Bank Governor is wanted by Sri Lanka over the Treasury Bonds scam. The well-known banker is believed to be hiding in Singapore.

However, INTERPOL has reportedly informed the local law enforcement authorities that investigations into Mahendran will continue despite the name change.
