The Department of Prisons has decided to launch an inquiry into the incident where a prison hospital doctor had allegedly been threatened by MP Rishad Bathiudeen, who is currently under remand custody.
The inquiry will be carried out under the supervision of an Assistant Superintendent of Prisons, the Prisons Media Spokesperson said.
A doctor at the Magazine Prison had lodged the complaint with the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) accusing Bathiudeen of leveling threats against his life, which subsequently prompted investigations.
As per the complaint, MP Bathiudeen had obstructed the duties of the doctor while he was treating an inmate on the 15th of August.
Reportedly, the doctor, who asked MP Bathiudeen to wait outside for his turn, has been told that his service is not required since the parliamentarian is capable of calling a doctor acquaintance.
Then the former minister has allegedly threatened the doctor, saying that he can have him transferred while also threatening to end the doctor’s life. He had allegedly stated that he has parliamentary privileges and is treated well by both Government and the Opposition.
The threat has also extended to the point that the lawmaker had purportedly asked the doctor to find a good place to hide.

The Police Department in Sri Lanka is turning out to be complicit in much of the failures of handling law enforcement. This we saw clearly in the case of the Easter Sunday attacks. They had the intelligence and failed to act. Now we can clearly see that Rishard Bathudeen is getting special treatment while in Police custody. After the death of Ishalini it is now apparent that personnel within the Police Department are complicit in trying to hide facts regarding her apparent murder.
It is time that the Police Department had a good in-house investigation to purge itself of the scum within. It is all the more frightening that Islamic Jihadi elements are within the department and settliing down quite comfortably with or without governmenmt patronage.
How ISIS and other Islamic forces are trying to destabilize neighbouring Kerala State of India is very troubling. The intel about the Easter Sunday Attacks was given to Sri Lanka by Indians because they knew first hand what was happening in Kerala, which the Jihadists are now trying to convert to an Islamic State. The percentage of Muslims in Kerala is now nearing 30% a very dangerous statistic with respect to Islamaisation of nations!
