LTTE women cadres have recently abducted a 22-year-old girl from Thambiluwil in Akkaraipattu demanding that her brother rejoins LTTE who had escaped after three months of training.

The complaint had been made on June 25 to the Akkaraipattu police by the mother of the victim identified as Kanapathipillai Jeyanthini (22), the elder sister of Kanapathipillai Sujeewan (20).

Women LTTE cadres who were accommodated at the near-by office established under the guise of political activities had taken her by force saying that to return the daughter the son should be surrendered to the LTTE.

It is believed that she had been taken to the Tharavai camp in Batticaloa.

He had been recruited to the LTTE two years ago and given armed training at the Tharavai camp in Batticaloa.

Sources said that a complaint had been made to the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) at Akkaraipattu and the SLMM in turn had requested that a complaint be made to the police.

Last week a 21-year-old LTTE cadre identified as Sukumar Gnanasekaram of Periyakulam surrendered to the Akkaraipattu police after escaping from the Karavai camp one year ago.

The escapee had been living in a secret place in the area for sometime having changed his religion taking a new name Abdul Raheem Mohamed Anaz.

Due to continual LTTE threats he had decided to surrender to the police. He had confessed to the police that the LTTE gave him the name as Poomal Raj for LTTE’s identification.
