The Attorney General has informed the Supreme Court that former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and other suspects linked to the alleged import of substandard human immunoglobulin will be indicted before a three-judge High Court bench next week.

The Former Health Minister was arrested in early February 2024 and remanded over the alleged import of substandard human Immunoglobulin injections.

He was granted bail after seven months by the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court.

He is charged with alleged complicity in the procurement of substandard human intravenous immunoglobulin.
