Former Sri Lanka cricketer Ramith Rambukwella remanded in bribery case

Colombo: Former Sri Lankan cricketer and son of ex-Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, Ramith Rambukwella, was arrested on Tuesday by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC).

The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court ordered that Ramith be remanded until June 3 in connection with a case involving the misappropriation of over Rs. 8 million in public funds.

CIABOC investigations allege that during Keheliya Rambukwella’s tenure as Minister of Mass Media, Health, and Environment between 2021 and 2023, he appointed several close associates, including family members, to his personal staff and unlawfully claimed allowances for them, leading to significant losses to the state.
