Former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Cardiology Unit at the Colombo General Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
Mr. Fernando was ordered to appear at the CID along with IGP Pujith Jayasundara today (Jul 2) over the April 21 terrorist bombings in the country.
However, the former defence secretary will appear before the CID on a later date due to his health condition.
The Attorney General yesterday instructed Acting IGP C.D. Wickremeratne to name the state officials as suspects in the Easter Sunday attacks and produce them before court.
