On June 15, the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) arrested a director of a leading pharmaceutical company at Wellawatte near capital Colombo for having links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), and recovered a stock of medical items valued at around SNR 2.5 million which were prepared to be sent to the LTTE, according to Daily News. Police spokesman Ranjith Gunasekera said the stock of medical items meant for the LTTE were recovered by the TID hidden inside a house in Perera Avenue in Wellawatte. He noted that the suspect had maintained close links with the LTTE including the outfit’s medical wing chief Selvanayagam Kugarajan alias Manoj. “It was revealed that the suspect kept a close relationship with the chief of the LTTE medical wing and had provided millions of rupees worth medical supplies to LTTE cadres on many occasions,” the SSP said. It is believed that the suspect was preparing to send the medical items to the Vanni during the last phase of battle. He failed to do so due to intensified security in the area. The LTTE reportedly ran short of medicine to treat their wounded cadres in the Vanni forest before they were defeated by the Security Forces. Therefore, the LTTE cadres were grabbing the medical items dispatched by the Government and international organizations to the trapped civilians.

The newly appointed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP, who was arrested from Bangkok in the night of August 6, was brought to Colombo the next morning, said Defence Affairs spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, according to Daily News. Addressing the media in Colombo, the Minister disclosed that Kumaran Pathmanathan is in the custody of defence authorities and will be dealt with according to the law of the land following investigations. “KP who was posing as a national of several countries and carrying out multi- faceted activities was capable of convincing some of them even though the LTTE was defeated. This led some people to believe the LTTE might re-emerge again,” he remarked. The Minister observed that the arrest sends a strong message that the Government has the support of the International Community in combating LTTE operations in foreign countries. Replying to a question whether Kumaran Pathmanathan will be extradited to India to face charges in connection with the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Rambukwella said there has been no such request so far and if such a request is made, the Government will deal with it according to International norms, treaties and conventions.
