Minister Keheliya Rambukwella arrested

Date:

February 02, Colombo (LNW): Environment Minister Keheliya Rambukwella has been apprehended by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), as part of the ongoing high-profile investigation related to the procurement of a consignment of counterfeit human immunoglobulin last year.

The arrest follows an order by Maligakanda Magistrate Lochana Abeywickrema, who, on the previous day, confiscated Minister Rambukwella’s passport and directed him to present himself to the CID on the following day (02) for further inquiries.

The ongoing investigation, marked by its significance, has prompted legal actions against the Environment Minister, who at the time of the questionable procurement had served as the Health Minister, and the authorities are working diligently to unravel the details surrounding the procurement of the alleged fake human immunoglobulin.
