Former Minister Rajitha Senaratne continues to remain at a private hospital in Colombo, despite the Prison Department's move to transfer him to the Prison Hospital.

Although the Prison Department brought an ambulance to take the former Minister to the hospital, their attempts proved to be futile due to unknown reasons.

Senaratne was admitted to the Cardiology Unit of a private hospital in Colombo after an arrest warrant was issued on him by the Colombo Additional Magistrate.

Upon his admission to the hospital, Senaratne was arrested by the CID over the controversial "white van" press conference in Colombo before the last Presidential election.
