Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa has returned to Sri Lanka from Singapore, where she had travelled for medical treatment.
Rajapaksa left Sri Lanka for Singapore on September 16 after receiving treatment at a private hospital in Colombo.
Her return comes on the same day that she filed an anticipatory bail application before the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court, citing the possibility of being arrested upon her return to the country.
The application comes amid an investigation by the Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division into financial transactions linked to the Siriliya Saviya organisation, which operated under Rajapaksa’s leadership. The FCID has sought a statement from her in connection with the investigation. (Newswire)
