A medical doctor and a pharmacist attached to the Welikada Prison were arrested by prison officials today while attempting to smuggle in narcotics and alcoholic drinks.
In a statement, the Justice and Prison Reforms Ministry said a prison officer had noticed the doctor handing over two bottles of alcohol to a prisoner to be handed over to another inmate.
Based on the information of the prison officer who noticed the event, the two bottles were found in the possession of the prisoner.
Welikada Prison Superintendent C. Uduwara said they would report the incident to the court in order to arrest the doctor.
Meanwhile, the pharmacist who was also attached to the prison was arrested in possession of 19 narcotic filled capsules that look like painkiller capsules.
He had removed medicinal substances from capsules and filled them with narcotics. He was handed over to the Borella Police for further investigation.

What jealousy ? How can it be jealousy the doctor prescribes the illicit drugs with a complementary two bottles of liquor. The pharmacist delivers … this is called teamwork …. I bet that was not a part of the MBBS curriculum ?

It’s common knowledge that the GMOA rascals are involved in this activity in one way or the other.

Doctors are not above the law. If they can arrest the Pharmacist and handover to the Police, why can't they do the same to the doctor?
