March 19, Colombo (LNW): The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has launched an probe into an incident involving former Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, who is currently in remand custody, being transported to court utilising a bus designated by UNICEF for the conveyance of children belonging to female inmates.
A complaint received by the CID alleges that prison authorities utilised this bus for transporting the ex Minister, notwithstanding UNICEF’s explicit directive that it should be exclusively allocated for the welfare of children of female inmates.
While it is noted that other individuals remanded alongside Rambukwella were transported via a standard prison bus, concerns have been raised regarding the preferential treatment extended to the former Minister in this matter.
