Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa, wife of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has been granted bail in connection with the alleged misappropriation of public funds through the Siriliya Saviya account.
Meanwhile, the Colombo National Hospital has informed the court that Rajapaksa requires heart bypass surgery.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama disclosed the medical recommendation when a report on her health condition was presented to the court today (16).
Rajapaksa was arrested by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) on 7 October over allegations involving Rs. 10 million in public funds and was subsequently remanded.
