Former Minister Duminda Dissanayake, who was initially transferred to the prison hospital after being remanded, has now been sent back to Magazine Prison.
The suspect was referred to the prison hospital for treatment on court orders.
Prison Media Spokesperson Gamini B. Dissanayake stated that Duminda Dissanayake was sent back to Magazine Prison after being examined by a specialist doctor.
He was arrested last Friday in connection with the discovery of a gold-plated T-56 firearm at an apartment complex and was ordered to be remanded after being produced in courts.
