Two top LTTE cadres slip through immigration net

By Munza Mushtaq

Two top LTTE cadres, wanted by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), have slipped through the net of Immigration authorities and fled to Singapore. They have made their get-away with the assistance of one Thavarajah.

The duo had migrated abroad a few weeks ago. Following this development, S. Thavarajah, a former MP and the second most senior member of the Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) has left for England. Reports reveal that he is unlikely to return to the country.

Thavarajah, who was representing the EDPD at the All Party Representative Committee, had informed the party in July that he will not be able to attend future meetings owing to personal reasons.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that just days before his sudden departure to UK, the CID had recorded a statement from Thavarajah. The CID is alleged to have obtained a warrant to arrest Thavarajah. But he had let the country before being taken into custody with the help of a top politician, said to be a government minister.

Meanwhile, when The Nation contacted Minister Devananda to verify these developments, the Minister accepted that Thavarajah was out of the country. However, Devananda claimed that Thavarajah had left for England purely for medical reasons. He refuted that his party stalwart was wanted by the CID for assisting two most wanted terrorists to flee the country.

“No, no, Thavarajah from the EPDP was not facing arrest. He is now in London. He has undergoing heart surgery there is taking rest,” the Minister claimed.

“It was not the EPDP Thavarajah who was wanted, it was one David Thavarajah who was wanted by the CID in connection with helping terrorists,” Devananda said.

Asked when the former MP was scheduled to arrive in the country, Devananda said that he had told him to remain in London. He added that if the need arose he would summon Thavarajah back to Sri Lanka.

“It is difficult for people to work with me, they have to work very hard, I told him to wait there and whenever I want him, I will call him,” the Minister added.
