The court also granted permission to name Rambukwella’s son, Ramith Rambukwella, as a suspect in the case.
The magistrate issued the order after considering the submissions made by both the Bribery Commission and the defense counsel.
Keheliya Rambukwella, who was arrested and remanded in connection with the three cases filed by CIABOC, was produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court by prison officials earlier today (May 20).
