Hope as usual pattern that the doctors will not provide fake letters saying that the accused is having an illness and he should be taken to prison hospital for treatment. If such a letter is issued by a doctor judiciary should conduct an inquiry as this man was seen hail and hearty a day before in the courts.
Francis Saturday, 03 February 2024 03:29 PM
Now hopefully he will understand the difference between fake and genuine medicines which has killed many innocent poor. You should be spending your retirement inside.

Remanded = Hospitalised
Rubu Fernando Sunday, 04 February 2024 12:00 AM
Hospitalised at Asoka Pathirage's Asiri Hospital. Another scumbag/pimp turned businessman.
Gabriella Saturday, 03 February 2024 03:31 PM
Remanded where ? Which 5 star hotel ? Or has he contacted some illness and been warded at a private hospital ?

We now have an independent Judiciary who are fearless to make orders on politicians provided they are at fault. SC gave the start and now our lower judiciary is following.

We must appreciate the civil activists’ relentless effort to catch one of the Rats that was destroying the economy and funds obtained from IMF, which,even the Bribery commission, the COPE and opposition could not do it. President should have sacked him instead he changing his portfolio.Like this we want solution for other scams as well.
Sunil Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:05 PM
It is the duty of all to see that the law is enforced to the last letter if we want to progress as a country. Otherwise all of us will fail and we will be a failed state and a colony of another country.
Nimal Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:21 PM
Looks as though justice is being done, at least this time, belatedly though it may be. However, just consider what a hassle it had been for the entire country, the people who went blind and those who paid with their lives for the dastardly actions of these crooks.
Nilmini Welivita Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:32 PM
Release this innocent man. It is the drug mafia connected to SJB/JVP that should be in prison.
HALUCINATING ONCE AGAIN Saturday, 03 February 2024 09:16 PM
UTTER RUBBISH, you are heartless. It is a known fact some lost their lives and eyesight. Keep sucking up to the politicians and party that brought the country to its knees and see where it gets you.

No bail! Happy?
Asoka Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:42 PM
In which hospital is he going to rest?
Work for a better SriLanka Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:49 PM
Next it should be Namal Rajapaksa.
Nihal S Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:57 PM
This guy should be behind bars.
Siripala Saturday, 03 February 2024 04:57 PM
Hats off to the Judge and the teams.
Lankaputha Saturday, 03 February 2024 05:15 PM
Since he is a Politician and powerful man backed by regieme and has loads of Money in hand in which Hospital is he remanded please ?
sam Saturday, 03 February 2024 05:26 PM
What about the stolen money?
Lion Saturday, 03 February 2024 05:43 PM
As usual he was given green light to go to prison hospital. This is how law works in Srilanka. Disgusting
Fred Saturday, 03 February 2024 05:45 PM
This guy will never be incarcerated for his crimes. Like all corrupt politicians he will be set free by a corrupt judiciary and government. 76 years of corrupt, bankrupt, vile independence.
Ah Saturday, 03 February 2024 05:45 PM
Evening he will end up at prison hospital per doctor's recommendation. No proper reason would be given but fell sick. This is as good as being bailed. Must call for second opinion from other doctors. These prison doctors licenses must be cancelled if they are caught lieing
A Good Citizen Saturday, 03 February 2024 06:00 PM
A big salute to the justice system and it is going to be a turning point !!! All the other remaining corrupted politicians be aware!
lankaputha Saturday, 03 February 2024 06:19 PM
Key is remanded in Remand Hospital, later to be transferred to JayawardenaPura hospital

Hats off to the Malingakanda Magistrate

Even if Keheliya is found guilty and sent to Prison, Ranil Rajapaksa would grant him a Presidential Pardon as Sirisena and Gotabhaya granted Presidential Pardons.
CJ Sunday, 04 February 2024 08:11 AM
Would you not understand that if RW wanted this would not have even gone this far ? So pls stop being a Lapa Kumara lover for a few days and appreciate what has happened
No former Health Minister equal to Keheliyaa Saturday, 03 February 2024 07:03 PM
Does this mean that Keheliyaa has fallen out of favor from former rulers? Nobody wants to tarnish their names associating with him. Even Wimala Wijayawardhane the Health Minister during SWRD's rule, did not stoop to this low level, even though she was not a paragon of virtue!
Michael Saturday, 03 February 2024 07:41 PM
VIP wing?
Buddhist Saturday, 03 February 2024 07:50 PM
Since Keheliya has entered the Prison Hospital, why not treat him with the same drugs he imported illegally?
Laugh Saturday, 03 February 2024 08:56 PM
Ha ha nice
Steve Saturday, 03 February 2024 08:04 PM
He needs immediate medical care.
Medicines imported by Keheliya waiting for him Sunday, 04 February 2024 07:46 AM
He will not dare to get admitted to ANY HOSPITAL in Sri Lanka, because those fake medicines HE imported will be administered HIM. Very pathetic situation for Keheliya. This is worse than punishment.
DOT Saturday, 03 February 2024 08:33 PM
A Health Minister assumed that "health is welth"!
7th lane Saturday, 03 February 2024 09:01 PM
Is he in the prison hospital ? This is an eye wash. He will be realised soon.
D S de Silva Saturday, 03 February 2024 09:35 PM
Typical result, Remanded stay in Hospital. What nonsense is this. By now he would have been provided with good food all the facikitues and possibly a mistress for the night too.
Yukthiya Saturday, 03 February 2024 09:46 PM
It is understood he is at the prison's hospital as expected. Already there are several doctors in remand custody in this case. Next should be the prison doctor for accommodating all these Duminda's and Keheliya's under the false pretext of various illnesses in to the prison hospital. They should brought brought to face the judiciary for contempt of court.
Saman Sunday, 04 February 2024 03:01 AM
This is the usual drama. Remand , go to prison hospital, get released after some time That is end of story
Herman Perera Sunday, 04 February 2024 03:25 AM
When Politicians get arrested its called 'CARDIAC ARREST' BECAUSE THEY END UP IN HOSPITAL.
Mandayan Sunday, 04 February 2024 05:27 AM
He is now in hospital and give the same medication that he imported!
Andrew Silva Sunday, 04 February 2024 05:49 AM
How about the person who is responsible for the murder of 290 church worshipers on Easter Sunday. Do the right thing. The Judiciary and the Parliament are gone to sleep. Wake up Ranil and round up the killers, then you might have a chance of winning an election and world prominence.

Srilanka irreparable It's gone Sad indeed Thanks to all regimes since 1948
A MAGISTRATE WITH HONESTY AND INTERGRITY Sunday, 04 February 2024 07:01 AM
Excellent outcome by the Maligakanda Magistrate.
DOT Sunday, 04 February 2024 07:17 AM
He is NOT a big fish either !
Tissa Fernando Sunday, 04 February 2024 08:08 AM
Sri Lankans are spending their time on week to week mega stories, last week it was Sanath Nishantalha, This week Kheheliya, next week what? Some tines back it was that Submarine which exploded, so this is the country full of people just living on story telling and watching and listening. The Youtubers are becoming very busy and this is apparently a good source of dollars to the country. I am glad that Kheheliya was remanded but Rajitha too should be treated tge same way. They are all rougues, then you have Mahindananda, Jonston, Kiriella, Sirisena, Raja family, so many. May be you might have to covert some places as prisons to accommodate these guys.
Sambo Sunday, 04 February 2024 08:22 AM
He will be only remanded for 15 days and what about the millions and millions of poor mans money he has played out. Will that be recovered or not. If the public is to have faith in the law of this country they the stolen money should be recovered.
Rohana Karunapala Sunday, 04 February 2024 09:58 AM
Not to the remand, Rambukwella should be sent to gallows for the crimes he committed.
Nimal Sunday, 04 February 2024 10:47 AM
Spot on.
A Pohottu Supporter Tuesday, 06 February 2024 11:12 AM
Keheliya Rambuwella will have to keep holding a Ministry because if he is removed for corruption, all the Ministers will have to be removed as all are corrupt.
