Media Minister Keheliya Rambukkwella, who returned to the country this morning from Melbourne, Australia, is going to sue the hotel he stayed at in Melbourne for the injuries that occurred due to a mishap at the hotel four months ago.

Addressing a press conference in Colombo the Minister said “I am going to take legal action against Hotel Como in Melbourne, where I was injured while staying at the hotel, as the hotel should be held responsible for the accident.”

According to media reports Minister Rambukwella was injured in February this year after he fell from a balcony while trying to alert the hotel staff that he got locked out while on the balcony. The mishap occurred while he was on a private visit to Australia and he was admitted to a hospital in Melbourne where he had to undergo several surgeries. (SAJ)
