Three youths have been apprehended by the police on suspicion of causing harm to five individuals by throwing a petrol bomb at a residence in the Chunnakam area of Jaffna.

The incident resulted in injuries to the mother, father, son and two daughters in the house, who were rushed to the Jaffna Teaching Hospital.

According to Police, a masked group arrived at the house assaulted the occupants and damaged the property. Police stated that prior to attacking the house the group had damaged a parked three-wheeler.

The cries of the residents had pro.pted the assailants to initiate the petrol bomb attack.

Accordingly, the Chunnakam Police launched an investigation, resulting in the arrest of three individuals believed to be involved in the incident.

Subsequent to the arrest, it has come to light that the attack was orchestrated by a group of individuals, including the boyfriend of one of the girls residing in the house, who had been engaged in a romantic relationship with another young man.

However, the actual motive behind the assault is still to be ascertained. The arrested suspects are set to be presented before the Jaffna Magistrate's Court, while the Chunnakam Police are carrying out further investigations. (Romesh Madushanka)

These assailants are not from the Tigers, EPRLF, EPDP, or TELO. But these four groups of low caste thugs destroyed Jaffna by introducing the violent culture which they inherited from their Indian Trainers in India. Even though this Indian violent culture was introduced forty years ago it is still refusing to go away because there is almost no “ Good Tamil “ in Jaffna to guide, advise , or mentor the young generation. Almost 100% of cultured Hindu Tamils, who were permanent residents of Jaffna for centuries, have sadly abandoned Jaffna and fled to USA, Britain, or Australia by the Sri Lankan Army, Indian Army, and the Tamil militant Indian trained low caste thugs.

Catch the miscreants and give them a good punishment. Wallop the fellows in the public. That’s the answer for this kind of rowdiness.

Looks like it is 1970s all over again. This has been made possible by mega corruption and mismanagement by people who claim to have saved the country from terrorism

It seems a lot of dissatisfaction has crept into the minds of Tamil youth in Jaffna. Social misbehavior of this type cropped up before the arrival of Tigers as a movement. Rich Tamil youths robbed cars for the fun of it, until they became bold enough to defy law. Some selfish leaders used them resulting in loss of valuable lives. These are our citizens and they have to be protected and given guidance.

@ Protect our youngsters please : you are rubbish. Did we have the present level of violence in Jaffna prior to the Tigers ? Absolutely not. Nowadays even in school cricket matches in Jaffna students are getting into murders , these were unthinkable before the Indian Trained Tamil Low Caste Men introduced the “ Barbaric Indian Violent Culture “ in the peaceful Jaffna land. You are idiotically comparing rich boys stealing cars in Jaffna that lasted for two days to ongoing killings and fire bombs that has become part of Jaffna culture now. All the so called Tamil Militant leaders should have been tried in a special court and hanged in the Kankesanthurai beach for destroying OUR JAFFNA.

@ Kumaran, Australia: Every this okay but, how can you say low caste thugs? Are you a higher caste person ran away to Aussie and showing colours to white men there? Come on man, remove the rubbish from your head!! Even you would go the same when the girl you loved, dating another one while being in a relationship with you or is that okay to you? I see he went little far too much but the law will take care!!

These type drama is used for fiction. Ideal for political milage. It’s the same even in big brother Bharath who is contesting elections creating com violence even spending billions sending people to the moon and sun. Doing lot of business with SL where there too people too are malnurished worse than here. Here too there dramas are used for political gain.
