Police did not arrest anyone from the Tellipalai incident. The video showing the arrest is fiction, are the shameful statements given by police spokesperson

Waligamam north People urging for the living rights were engaged in a hunger protest in front of Tellipalai Durgai Amman temple on last 15th. In the middle of the protest, some intruded and attempted to cause disturbance.
One of the intruders was caught by the public and was handed over to the police. A video footage was published, police taking the arrested person.
But this was completely denied by the Police spokesperson Prasantha Jayakody, and he had made a statement that the videos were fabricated technologically and public did not handover anyone to them, and none were arrested.
Concerning this issue, Tamil National Alliance spokesperson, Jaffna district parliament member Suresh Piremachandran was queried and he said, if Police spokesperson makes a statement like this, none will give respect to the police uniform he has attired. This is a disgraceful statement.
Thousands of people in front of their eyes have handed over a person to the police, and he was released due to the reason that he being from the military, and if Police spokesperson says such a statement, he could remove his police uniform and function.
Tellipalai police Officer in Charge, Police spokesperson, Jaffna district Deputy Police Inspector is not fit for police duties and police uniform.
They will not protect law and order. Police uniform is getting tarnished by them was mentioned by him.

Military spokesperson had made a statement that when opposition party leader was attempting to address some caused problems, and to prevent it, military came. If anyone cause problem, to prevent police should be notified.
All the Medias published the video image of arresting the person caused problem by police, but Police Spokesperson saying this is a technology fabricated is much humorous was mentioned by him.

NEW DELHI (AFP) – Photos released on Tuesday to publicise a new documentary on Sri Lanka show that government soldiers executed the 12-year-old son of separatist chief Velupillai Prabhakaran in 2009, its director claimed.
The photos, part of a documentary for Britain’s Channel 4, prove the Sri Lankan army’s involvement in war crimes including summary execution and torture during the island’s 37-year-long civil war, according to director Callum Macrae.
The pictures “tell a chilling story”, Macrae wrote in an article published in Indian newspaper The Hindu.
In one, Balachandran, the youngest son of the slain Tamil Tiger leader, is seen eating a snack while sitting in a green sandbag bunker guarded by a soldier. A second image shows his bullet-riddled bare-chested body.
The documentary alleges that Balachandran was executed two hours after the first photo was taken.
The images have been scrutinised by digital image analysts, who concluded they came from the same camera, and support video footage of the boy’s body uncovered last year, Macrae said.
The Sri Lankan government has maintained that Prabhakaran’s family were killed in fighting. The bodies of his wife and daughter have never been found.
“The new photographs are particularly important evidentially, because they prove that Balachandran was not killed in crossfire, or in a battle. His death was deliberate and calculated,” Macrae wrote.
“It is difficult to imagine the mindset of an army in which a child can be executed in cold blood with apparent impunity.”
“No War Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka” will be released in March in Geneva to coincide with a UN Human Rights Council discussion on the country, currently facing censure by the US over its failure to probe war crimes.
Sri Lanka’s military denied executing prisoners and accused the British network of engaging in a campaign to tar the country’s reputation.
“These pictures come out in time for the UN Human Rights Council meetings. They want to discredit us,” Sri Lankan military spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanisasooriya told AFP. “No evidence has been presented to us to investigate.”
Macrae asked India to support calls for an independent probe and said that Sri Lanka’s President Mahinda Rajapakse and his brother, defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse, should be made to answer for alleged war crimes.
Rights groups say up to 40,000 civilians were killed by security forces in the final months of a no-holds-barred offensive in 2009 that ended Sri Lanka’s decades-long fight against Tamil separatists.
Sri Lanka denies causing civilian deaths and President Rajapakse sees himself as having brought peace to the Indian Ocean island.
