The medical report submitted by the Colombo National Hospital to the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court indicates that former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa requires a heart bypass surgery.
The medical report on Shiranthi Rajapaksa, who is currently in remand custody as a suspect in connection with the incident in which the National Savings Bank provided Rs. 10 million to the “Siriliya Saviya” organisation, was submitted to the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today.
This was revealed when the case was taken up before Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama today (16), Ada Derana reporter said.
After examining the medical report, the Magistrate stated that it had been submitted along with a covering letter from the Director of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka in Colombo.
The Magistrate further stated in open court that the report detailed the suspect’s medical condition and indicated that she requires bypass surgery.
At that point, Additional Solicitor General Dileepa Peiris, appearing on behalf of the Bribery Commission, requested the court’s permission to make submissions after reviewing the medical report.
Accordingly, the Magistrate ordered that the proceedings be adjourned until 2.45 p.m. for that purpose.
