Former State Intelligence Service (SIS) Director Major General (Retd.) Suresh Sallay, who is being detained and questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital last evening.
This comes against a backdrop where he commenced a fast-to-death since Sunday night.
Sections of the Opposition have alleged inhumane treatment of Sallay whilst in custody, a charge which the Police have denied.
