Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa has reportedly returned to the island a short while ago.
Ada Derana reporter said the former First Lady returned to the country onboard a flight from Malaysia.
She had reportedly departed for Singapore early morning on September 16 for medical treatment.
Rajapaksa had been admitted to a private hospital in Colombo the previous day (15) after reportedly falling ill. She was subsequently taken from the hospital directly to the airport, reports claimed.
The Rajapaksa family has rejected reports alleging that Shiranthi Rajapaksa had knowingly departed the country while under an earlier Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) summons, maintaining that she had not been notified by the FCID prior to her arrival at the airport.
Meanwhile, the attorneys representing Shiranthi Rajapaksa filed an anticipatory bail application before the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court on Monday (05), seeking an order preventing her arrest in connection with an ongoing investigation into the financial affairs of the Siriliya Saviya organisation.
