Bail only for the money laundering, that means he will be still in the jail for the death sentance.

What will happen to the death sentence?

Bailed out for Rs 5000 for the crime of distributing poison islandwide without a care for his fellow countrymen/women. These are the get-rich-quick selfish social parasites that need to liquidated without pardon or mercy.

Money laundering generally a non-bailable offence! Are they setting an example first to give a bail to Yoshitha?
