An ex-LTTE cadre who had allegedly attacked residents of a war heroes housing scheme in Kokeliya, Vavuniya was arrested by the police today.

Residents reported the assault by unidentified gangsters was allegedly led by the ex-LTTEer known as Sinnawan.

The suspect, who had been absconding from the police, was arrested along with another suspect involved in the incident in Iranamadu, Kilinochchi and will be produced before the Vauniya Magistrate today.

The gangsters, apparently under the influence of liquor, had threatened the residents demanding they vacate the premises and claimed the housing scheme was constructed on land belonging to Tamils.

The residents said they heard the attackers shouting, ‘We will re-take our homeland’. (Sithum Chathuranga)

    It is useless to spent large amount of money to construct Hindu temple, Mosque or Buddhist temple if there is no particular religion people are living in that area, please give that money to the poor of this country.

    BBS got less than 0.1% votes while Vigneshwaran gets more than 90% in North/East. So I don't think facts are against your statement.

    Sinhabahu........You are from India , Budda is also from India. ...If you want to demolish Hindu temple at wellawatte better demolish all buddist temples, Sri pada and Kataragama too.

    Wellawatte Kovil was not built by the Govt. There is difference between state sponsored colonisation and voluntary movement of people.

    Aba Jayasekera Sunday, 02 October 2016 08:12 PM

    How did they get Govt.land at Wellawatte free to construct a Kovil?

    Wondering what a "war hero" village is doing in Vavuniya?

    Selvyn Sunday, 02 October 2016 12:13 PM

    Though the majority of Tamils are peace loving just like the majority of Buddhists people like Vignesh are surely dangerous via DM Android App
