Incident

He was killed along with E. Kousalyan, political head of Batticaloa-Amparai district of the (LTTE) in an ambush Polonnaruwa near Batticaloa. The LTTE alleged that the killings were done by the Karuna group. A Sri Lankan army spokesman condemned the incident. According to the government press release

"While these killings are a violation of the Ceasefire Agreement, their timing is also clearly calculated to disrupt the positive post-tsunami atmosphere of increasing co-operation between the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE on humanitarian issues. The Government calls on all concerned to prevent further violations of the ceasefire gravely risking a return to conflict and instead, to support the peace process and move ahead."^[1][2][3][4]
