A mobile phone and a hands-free headset have been recovered from the possession of former MP Ranjan Ramanayake, who has been admitted to the Welikada Prison Hospital.
The items were found after officers at the prison hospital had carried out a sudden search at around 10.00 pm last night (21).
Mr. Ramanayake was transferred from the Angunakolapelessa Prison to Welikada Prison Hospital on November 10, under medical advice, in order to be produced at the orthopedic clinic of the Colombo National Hospital to treat a knee injury.
Accordingly, the former MP could face charges and is to be produced before a prison tribunal.
