Former Minister Ravi Karunanayake and 07 others who were arrested over the Central Bank bond scam have been further remanded until Thursday (April 01). The judge bench will issue the decision on granting bail to the accused when the case is called again Thursday. Accordingly, the particulars they have submitted are not sufficient to take their bail applications into consideration, the Additional Solicitor General said further. Hence, he stated that the medical reports of the accused should be presented before a panel of medical experts in order to reach a conclusion. However, taking the submissions into account, the judge bench rejected the Additional Solicitor General’s request.
