Former Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa, who was granted bail by the Colombo High Court on June 15, had been discharged on Thursday from a private hospital in Colombo where he had been warded.

It was reported that MP Rajapaksa had gone to meet his brother, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, yesterday evening after he was discharged from hospital.

Basil Rajapaksa, who was in remand custody at the Colombo National Hospital’s Merchant Ward, was admitted to the hospital’s Cardiology Unit on May 19 after he was reported to have suffered a minor stroke.

He was later admitted to a private hospital in Colombo after being released on bail.

Mr. Rajapaksa was arrested on April 22 by the Police FCID on charges of misappropriation of public funds of the Divi Naguma Department and later remanded after being produced in the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court.

If someone is very ill the best remedy is to apply for bail.

All these days he played a drama showing that he is really sick. He is a good actor like his brother Mahinda.

Miraculous recovery ....maybe other heart attack sufferers from all over the world will now flock to Colombo hospitals for treatment ..increase revenue and teach the world of medicine how they do it ...why do the wealthy when detained by the courts always manage to instantly fall ill ...do you know how stupid this makes sri lankan law appear
