Vivekananthan

The CID recently issued details of a Batticaloa Tamil who had allegedly masterminded the killing of two Red-Cross workers on 1st June 2007. Vivekananthan alias Charan is a former LTTE Intelligence Wing Cadre who disbanded the organization in 2004. While in the LTTE, Vivekananthan had engaged in intelligence gathering under Pottu Amman in Colombo for five years, without being detected by the police or the security forces. Vivekananthan's brother had been abducted, tortured and subsequently murdered by the LTTE at the beginning of this year. He has since disappeared and is thought to be hiding in a Southeast Asian country.
