The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has informed the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court that former Director of the State Intelligence Service, Suresh Sallay, who was being held under a detention order, was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital for emergency treatment on Sunday night (07).
CID officials notified the court through a motion, stating that Sallay’s health had deteriorated while in custody.
He had been arrested in connection with the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks and was under CID detention at the time.
According to reports, Sallay had begun a fast inside CID custody, refusing food and alleging that he was subjected to inhuman treatment.
His health condition subsequently worsened, prompting authorities to transfer him to hospital care.
