Ponniah Selvanayagam Kajeeban alias Gobi, a former LTTE intelligence cadre, was among the three LTTE leaders who were shot dead by the Army during a clash at Vedivachchikallu in Nedunkerni, Welioya, the Army said.

The shootout occurred when a group of soldiers encircled a house in Nadunkerni on a tip off that the suspects were staying there.

“The three suspects were identified as Gobi,Appan, and Thevian. Judicial inquiry is being held at the scene of the shooting,” Army spokesman Ruwan Wanigasooriya said.

“The detectives recovered arms, ammunition, explosives and other material from the hideout,” he said.
