COLOMBO : Former minister and present parliamentarian Rishad Bathiudeen, who was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital last week, has been taken back to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Saturday, July 24.
The parliamentarian, who is currently in the custody of the CID over his alleged links with the perpetrators of 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks, was hospitalized on July 17 due to sudden illness.
Reportedly, the parliamentarian has asked the CID officers to transfer him to a paying ward at the Colombo National Hospital, however, his request was denied due to the ongoing investigations against him.
His hospitalization came in the backdrop of reports on the death of a domestic aide at his private residence which pointed to alleged abuse and sexual exploitation.
