India wants probe on Ch 4 clip

03 Nov 2013 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

India on Saturday called on the Sri Lankan government to investigate into the latest Video by Britain’s Channel 4, which contained alleged rape and murder of an LTTE female combatant, the PTI news agency reported.

“I also watched the clippings of the video and I believe the contents are true. It was a brutal and merciless act. The Sri Lankan government has the responsibility to identify and punish those who are behind the act,” Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram told reporters after meeting DMK chief M. Karunanidhi in Chennai.

According to a report on the website of the British television channel, the young woman shown in the footage as being captured by men in army fatigue, and later lying unconscious or dead with a gash across her face is Isaipriya, a newsreader for the LTTE’s television channel.

However, Army spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya termed the video clip a completely false creation by Channel 4.
