Leader of the Tamil United Freedom Front (TUFF) Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman, has arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department to record a statement.
This is with regard to the recent comment of the former LTTE commander-turned-politician on the killing of Army soldiers while he was a member of the now-defunct terrorist organization.
The Police on Monday (22) launched immediate investigations into the controversial statements made by Karuna Amman at a meeting in Navadinveli on June 19, glorifying the killing of Sri Lankan soldiers during his time as an LTTE militant.
He has said: “When I was a member of the LTTE, I killed some 2000 to 3000 Sri Lankan army personnel in one night at Elephant Pass. I have killed more in Killinochchi. That is certainly higher than the number of lives the coronavirus has claimed in Sri Lanka.”
However, on Tuesday (23), Karuna Amman had informed the CID that he was not in a position to provide a statement due to ill health.
