The Assassination of Thiagarajah Maheswaran
by D.B.S. Jeyaraj
Year 2008 dawned on a dreadful note for Tamils in Sri Lanka as one more democratically elected Parliamentarian was assassinated in broad daylight. United National Party (UNP) Colombo district MP Thiagarajah Maheswaran was shot dead at the Shree Ponnambalavaneswarar Sivan temple in Kotahena. 41 year old Maheswaran was to celebrate his 42nd birthday on Jan 10th.
In what was perhaps the first development of its kind, the assassin was shot and wounded by one of Maheswaran’s bodyguards. He was caught and hospitalised under heavy security. The assassin was initially admitted under the name of Vasanthan to bed number 13 in ward 72 of the National Hospital in Borella. The arrest and identity of the assassin is shrouded in secrecy and has assumed a mysterious aura.
Maheswaran left his residence at B32, 36th lane, Wellawatte in the morning of New Years day to worship at the Shree Ponnambalavaneswarar Sivan temple at Kotahena. The temple was constructed by Sir Ponnambalam Ramanathan who was then representing the Educated Ceylonese Constituency of the Legislative Council.
The UNP Tamil MP was one of those Parliamentarians whose official security had been drastically reduced after the budget vote on Dec 14th. The vociferous Maheswaran had voted against the budget. He had also been sharply critical of the Government about the anti – Tamil acts done in Colombo under the cover of combatting terrorism.
The Colombo district MP’s bodyguards from the Ministerial Security division were cut down from eighteen to two. On Dec 19th Maheswaran had written to Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse saying that he faced danger and urged that his security be restored to earlier levels. No action was taken.
Maheswaran had inducted some trusted Tamil youths to be his unofficial bodyguards. These youths did not carry firearms but generally surrounded Maheswaran when he moved about. In actual terms they provided body cover. Only L. Dharmasiri, the 38 year old Policeman assigned as his official bodyguard carried a gun. Maheswaran’s 4 year old daughter also accompanied her father to the temple.
Thiagarajah Maheswaran is a pious saivaite. At the Sivan temple he went through all rituals including the walk around the inner circle or “ulveethi”. He also conducted a special “archanai” or pooja. According to Up – Country Peoples Front Colombo municipal councillor VT Gurusamy he saw Maheswaran standing engrossed with devotional fervour near the “moolasthanam” or sanctum sanctorum , oblivious to his surroundings or people around him.
The former minister of Hindu affairs was going out with his “kalanji” coconut in one hand and clasping his daughter with the other, at about 9. 30 am , when the assassin made his move. He was standing on the steps outside the main entrance to the temple. The killer moved closer as Mahewaran emerged and opened fire. Maheswaran fell with four bullet wounds to his chest and head. The coconut turned red with his blood.
The official bodyguard Dharmasiri fired back at the assassin. Sticking to procedure he fired at his legs first to bring him down rather than kill him. The assassin however fired back at the bodyguard injuring him. It was then that Dharmasiri aimed at the assassin’s head but the bullet only nicked him.
The assassin then dropped down on all fours within the crowd and crawled into the temple. It was impossible to fire on a crawling man in a crowd without hitting other people. The assassin’s aim was to crawl through to the second side entrance to the left and escape. It is suspected that an accomplice with a vehicle was close by.

There were more than 600 devotees in and around the temple at the time of the shooting. There were uniformed Police personnel on duty at the temple. These cops acted fast and got the doors closed at both entrances. The bleeding assassin was trapped with other devotees inside the temple.
Once the shooting began there was pandemonium with hundreds of devotees running here and there. One of the temple priests who was walking out with Maheswaran whisked away the MP’s daughter to safety. Apart from Maheswaran , Dharmasiri and a few of his unofficial bodyguards, some other people were also injured.
Some of Maheswaran’s uninjured guards rushed with the injured persons to the National hospital. Other injured persons including the assassin were also brought there. Twelve people were admitted.They were Maheswaran, Mahindan,Dharmasiri, Madhurani, Vaani,Sarala,Balachandran,Akilash,Pushpavathy,Videshwaran,
Sivalingam and “Vasanthan” the assassin.
Chandrakumar Mahendran of Jaffna was pronounced dead shortly after admission. Doctors strove hard to save Maheswaran but the MP succumbed to injuries at 10. 35 am. Doctors at the hospital did surgery for six of the injured people. The condition of two is reportedly critical. Both Dharmasiri the bodyguard and Vasanthan the assassin are out of danger.

Although Dharmasiri had been unable to prevent Maheswaran’s death he had accomplished a feat of sorts by firing accurately at the assassin. Thanks to him and the swift action by Policemen on duty at the temple the assassin was caught. This was perhaps the first time that a cold – blooded assassin of a political leader was caught alive.
This “breakthrough” however became a controversial issue in a short time. Instead of trying to conduct a proper , impartial investigation and identifying the actual culprits , there began a dirty game in upper echelons of shifting blame. The main reason for this was the identity of the assassin and his links.
The man known as Vasanthan was apparently a native of Gurunagar formerly known as Karaiyoor. Gurunagar is a coastal area within the Jaffna municipality. During the eighties the Eelam Peoples Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) had much influence there.
Vasanthan’s real name according to informed sources is Johnson Colin Valentine. He was of the Catholic faith and a resident at Beach road in Gurunagar. He had joined the EPRLF Varathar faction as a teen ager in the nineties of the last century. His nom de guerre then was “Vasanthan”. He had then functioned under Thambirajah Subathiran alias Robert who was killed by the tigers on June 15th 2002.
After Robert’s death Colin came to Colombo and aligned himself with another EPRLF leader Thirunavukkarasu Sreetharan alias Sugu briefly . Thereafter he had teamed up with the Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) led by Kathiravelu Devananda alias Douglas. Valentine was known as “Johnson Tholar” (comrade Johnson) and “Colin Tholar” (comrade Colin)in the EPDP. He was also referred to as “Vasanthan” and “Vincent”.
About five years ago Valentine moved “away” from the EPDP and was deployed as a military intelligence operative. Valentine was included in the security detail of Maheswaran for a short time when he was a minister in the Ranil Wickremasinghe Government.
Interestingly, Valentine became known more as Vasanthan then. Intriguingly, the native of Gurunagar was given a national identity card with a Karainagar address then. Incidently , Thiagarajah Maheswaran was from Karainagar.The injured bodyguard Dharmasiri identified the killer as a former bodyguard of Maheswaran
It is unclear as to what Valentine alias Vasanthan’s current status is. Though seen occasionally at EPDP offices there are doubts whether he remained a part of that outfit or the intelligence or both. In recent times he was known as Vasanthan rather than Colin or Johnson.
According to some reports he had continued with his assignment at the MSD but was in reality a military intelligence operative. There is also suspicion that he was involved with the abduction of Tamils for ransom racket.
There is also another theory that Vasanthan had been turned into a “double agent” by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE). The tigers are known to have infiltrated rival organizations like the EPDP deeply.
One method is to “win” over operatives attached to organizations like these. The LTTE has successfully “turned” even those working for state intelligence outfits. It is possible therefore that even Vasanthan may have shifted allegiance and worked clandestinely for the tigers.
Valentine alias Vasanthan had been staying at Wattala for the past ten months. When Police searched the premises they discovered some 9 mm bullets hidden up the ceiling. Police have also taken in ten persons for further questioning.
These include two youths staying at Valentine’s residence in Gurunagar. They were produced at before Jaffna district judge RT Wicknarajah and then brought to Colombo.
It is also learnt that Valentine alias Vasanthan has made a statement to the Police. He has reportedly admitted his guilt. At the same time he has reportedly divulged many details of why he assassinated Maheswaran and for whom he was working.
The LTTE is known to have infiltrated or” turned” some intelligence circles too. So Vasanthan may have been a double agent. An unconfirmed report states that his father had been at one time a LTTE vehicle driver.
Only an unbiassed independent investigation will reveal the whole truth but it appears that such a solid probe is unlikely. The honest , impartial sleuths in the Police force are under heavy pressure. One official confided that he was “disgusted” at what was happening.
What happened at the hospital after the assassin was identified is disturbing. There was a heavy “official” presence. In the first place he was brought to the hospital in a “covered” state. Some top security people ensured that the assassins face should not be seen by people or media.
This confirms suspicion that the assassin had some “intelligence” links. Otherwise there was no need to keep him under wraps. If the killer did not have “intelligence” connections the authorities would have gone on a publicity binge. It is not every day that an assassin of a political leader is apprehended with the smoking gun , literally and metaphorically.
Also the Rajapakse regime is being criticised severely for cutting down Maheswaran’s security. One way of damage control would have been to publicise the capture of the assassin in a big way. Instead officialdom is keeping it low – key. This leads to suspicion that some powerful people want to obscure or hide the truth.
The dilemma faced by the authorities is the “intelligence” link of the assassin. If he did not have those links it was very simple to have blamed the LTTE directly. But now there is a need to hide the intelligence link.
It has not been the practice of States to admit openly that someone was an “intelligence”operative. In this case there was also the fact that an intelligence operative was a double agent working for the LTTE. Thus the emphasis was on denying, obscuring or distorting the assassin’s links with the Intelligence rather than revealing full details.
There is also a deliberate campaign afoot to deflect all blame on the tigers. The motive behind this campaign seems to be that of denying or destroying all traces of Vasanthan’s connections with intelligence and instead portray him as a full – fledged member of the LTTE.
Vasanthan’s alleged links with the EPRLF, EPDP, MSD and “intelligence” are a source of embarassment to the power structure. It is preferable from the official perspective to wipe out previous links and depict him as a tiger assassin.
Maheswaran has had many problems with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Given the LTTE’s duplicitous tendencies and penchant for taking revenge years later the possibility of tigers being responsible cannot be ruled out.
Though LTTE credibility is very low in matters like these, the conduct of Govt spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella and IGP Victor Perera makes one feel sceptical about LTTE culpability.
The assassin’s gun was found at the temple premises. It is possible that he dropped it when trying to crawl out. According to Rambukwella it was of a “micro ” variety. These guns are only used by the LTTE he said and alleged that the tiger pistol squad may be responsible.
However according to unconfirmed reports the fingerprints found on the gun do not match those of the assassin
Later Mr. Rambukwella told the BBC “Sandeshaya” Sinhala service that the assassin had worked for Ministerial Security Division (MSD) and had been a bodyguard to Maheswaran and also Devananda….. . Here are relevant excerpts from the radio transcript -
Sandeshaya: Do you have any details of the disclosures made by the suspect arrested in connection with the assassination of T. Maheswaran?
Rambukwella: Yes, he has been temporarily living in Wattala. Eight rounds of live ammunition used for micro pistols were found
Sandeshaya: Is there any truth in reports that he was connected to a Government Minister?
Rambukwella: Yes, there is a report to that effect. He has been in the security detail of Maheswaran himself.
Sandeshaya: Before working for Maheswaran’s security, whom did he work for?
Rambukwella: He has been working in the Ministerial Security Division (MSD). I think he has been working for Minister Douglas Devananda. Most of the Tamil MPs use Tamil security guards.
Sandeshaya: That means he has been definitely working as a security officer in a Government security service?
Rambukwella: Yes, that is what has been disclosed during the investigations.
Sandeshaya: If that is the case, persons providing security could assassinate an opposition MP. There should be a special investigation about those providing security.
Rambukwella: Definitely. There is no doubt about it. There is a possibility that a spy for a group could infiltrate.
The EPDP leader Devananda angrily denied such charges when interviewed later by the BBC”Thamilzhosai” Tamil service.
Subsequently the EPDP official website stated that Cabinet spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella had expressed regret to Mr. Devananda over the remarks he made.
The EPDP also issued a statement which said that killers had rushed to “spread rumours like wildfire with the motive of tarnishing the EPDP and to impress on the general public that it was responsible for the murder of Mr. Maheswaran.”
The statement added: “People who are behind this vicious campaign must have a hand, directly or indirectly, in this murder. That is why these elements are spreading rumours to impress the general public before the assailant reveals the truth.”
The IGP’s behaviour was comical but reprehensible. Even as investigations were progressing IGP Victor Perera announced that the LTTE was responsible. By doing so he was setting out the limits within which his men have to conduct the probe.
Can the sleuths come out with contrary findings and embarass their boss? The UNP has very rightly condemned the IGP and want him summoned to Parliament for an explanation.
Later Senior Supdt of Police Anura Senanayake told a press conference that the LTTE was responsible. He said that further information would be released after investigations progressed.
Once again this reinforced suspicion that the Police probe was not “clean”. SSP Senanayake’s revelation seemed more an attempt to bolster his boss the IGP’s claim that the tigers were responsible.
If investigations were not over the prudent course was to keep “mum” and then come out with full details. Instead senior Police officials were saying the LTTE is responsible and that inquiries are not over.
The ham-handed approach of the authorities , the cover-up of the assassin’s links, and the unholy haste to blame the LTTE before the investigations were over has caused most people to “smell a rat”. Officialdom has botched up and the move is becoming counter-productive.
Powerful elements may want to downplay the intelligence link and make a scapegoat out of a tiger but in the minds of most people there seems little doubt about why Maheswaran was killed and who was responsible.
Many people feel that the EPDP was responsible. Despite the denials of Douglas Devananda, circumstantial evidence points otherwise.
Hailing from Karainagar, Maheswaran had been to his hometown in late December. This was mainly to participate in the “thiruvizhaa” festival of the Karainagar Sivan temple. The festival coincides with the “thiruvembaavai” season.
The Karainagar temple is a famous shrine and is described as the “Eelathu Chidamparam”. There is a famous Nadarajar (lord Siva) temple at Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu.After performing his religious duties at the festival Maheswaran also pulled the “Ther vadam” (chariot ropes)
During his stay Maheswaran met many residents of Jaffna. They told him harrowing tales of what was happening in Jaffna. The daily killings and disappearances going on there were vividly related. On an average six persons were being killed daily.
After returning to Colombo Maheswaran began telling people including friends in the media that the EPDP collaborating with “intelligence” was responsible for most of the incidents in Jaffna. He said that he had information about the EPDP killer squads operating on a rotational basis. Ten persons were taken to Jaffna every month . As one batch goes in the previous batch comes out Maheswaran alleged.
Maheswaran also alleged that there was a move to abduct him in Jaffna and that he avoided it cleverly. He said that he would expose the EPDP and its leader Devananda in Parliament on Jan 8th.
He would also prepare a detailed report about it and submit it to the envoys of India and Western nations in Colombo. Maheswaran also said that he would pressurise his party the UNP into conducting an active campaign on this issue.
On Dec 30th Maheswaran appeared on the popular “Minnal” talk show on Shakthi TV and aired some of these views. Responding to the host Sri Ranga’s questions , Maheswaran stated publicly that an “organization” was mainly responsible for the incidents in Jaffna and that he would expose it in Parliament on Jan 8th.
This apparently sent alarm bells ringing in certain quarters and Maheswaran was silenced within 48 hours.The EPDP website criticised Maheswaran and Sri Ranga.
The tying up of the TV talk show revelations as cause and the assassination as effect has led to widespread suspicion that the EPDP may have been responsible for the killing.
Valentine’s known links with the EPDP have strengthened such suspicion. Some ponder whether it was done in collaboration with the “intelligence” or whether the EPDP was acting on its own.
With the accusing finger pointing at him EPDP leader Devananda has vehemently and consistently denied responsibility. He in turn is accusing the tigers and pro – tiger elements of being responsible and also whipping up a deliberate campaign to malign him.
The LTTE has “officially” underplayed the killing though its supportive media organs have highlighted the killing on a large scale. The LTTE’s Pulidevan made a half – hearted statement. Clearly the LTTE is uncomfortable about making a martyr out of Maheswaran.
The tigers want to capitalise on the killing but do not want to glorify Maheswaran. This may be due to Maheswaran being a UNP member and also because of the controversial relationship he had with the LTTE.
There is also the possibility that the LTTE may be responsible for the killing. The Tigers tried to kill Maheswaran once before.
Though some people accuse Maheswaran of being a “kotiya” the reality was that he maintained an uneasy relationship with the tigers. The very act of shifting to Colombo from Jaffna was an act of defiance by Maheswaran. He was shot by underworld elements hired by the LTTE in 2004.
The theory that Maheswaran was killed because he threatened to expose the EPDP in the TV show is easily comprehensible and believable. But in fairness to the EPDP it seems too simplistic an explanation too.
Would the EPDP or state intelligence have bumped off Maheswaran within 48 hours of the TV show when they knew that they will be the obvious suspects?
Then again these elements could have been brazen enough to do so because they operate in a climate of impunity. Many people have gotten away with many things under this regime. Besides nobody expected the assassin to be caught.
On the other hand there is another theory that the LTTE for reasons of its own may have wanted to kill Maheswaran too. The “Minnal” show provided an opportunity where the tigers could kill Maheswaran and conveniently lay the blame on the EPDP.
Maheswaran’s implicit yet public reference to an “organization” and his threat that he would expose it in Parliament makes it easy to suspect the EPDP. The EPDP’s track record in human rights violations fuels the suspicion. It is a “known” factor.
Yet it must be acknowledged that the LTTE role in the Maheswaran affair is an “uknown” factor.One does not know what the exact nature of Maheswaran’s relationship with the LTTE was at the time of his death.
He was carrying on big business transporting food and goods to Jaffna by sea. His profits jumped up manifold after the Govt closed the A-9 highway. Maheswaran was one who exploited the situation and increased his shipping activity.
Despite criticising the Government publicly he maintained good relations with the President and his Brother Basil.When Maheswaran made a critical speech in Parliament Jeyaraj Fernandopulle was to refer to his good relationship with the President and the favours he extracted to promote his business ventures.
Maheswaran sails four vessels “Jenclipper”, “Uniglory”, “Binhtan” and “Bagawan” with a total tonnage of 6,170 carrying government and private cargo to the Jaffna peninsula.
He was planning to visit Germany in connection with purchasing a ship this week.
The LTTE was deprived of income as the revenue generated through taxes declined drastically after the A-9 was closed whereas Maheswaran’s income shot up rapidly as a result.
One does not know whether there was displeasure over this. It is possible that the LTTE may have asked Maheswaran for a greater share of the profits and was rebuffed.
He may also have been asked by the tigers to “do” something for them and had refused.
Former Batticaloa district MP Nimalanayagam Soundaranayagam was asked by the LTTE to take two suicide bombers to the Kotte Parliament. He refused and was killed.
Given the known “links” he had with the LTTE at that time many people including this writer thought the tigers had nothing to do with the killing. Later it transpired that then LTTE eastern regional commander “Col” Karuna ordered the killing.
Likewise one does not know whether such an incident happened in this case too.
There are also reports that Maheswaran had begun to dabble in arms and armaments purchases lately. He had formed a company under a “benami” front and was in the process of engaging retired defence personnel as consultants and procurers , it is said.
If this is true the LTTE would definitely have got irritated.
The situation is quite murky and is too early to reach a definite conclusion. There are many angles both visible and hidden to reckon with in this issue. Will the whole truth be ever revealed?
Both the EPDP and LTTE may plead innocence and blame the other party but the simple truth is that one or the other was responsible. Until the contents of Vasanthan’s “true confession” are known there is no hard evidence implicating either of them.
Even when details are revealed there will be much scepticism on account of the unprofessional statements made by Police officials and partisan accusations by Government politicians.
Maheswaran’s family however seems inclined to believe that the EPDP was implicated. Tamil public opinion at large shares this belief. The views expressed over “Minnal” show is seen as the cause for the killing.
Against that backdrop it is noteworthy that Colombo Additional Magistrate Ravindra Premaratna has directed the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) to take into consideration the facts revealed by Maheswaran in his last TV interview which included an alleged threat on his life, when conducting investigations into the killing of the parliamentarian .
According to media reports ,the CCD reported to court that they had arrested ten suspects in connection with the killing and the suspects were detained at the CCD on the order of the defence secretary. It added that the gun which was suspected to have been used in the shooting had blood stains around the trigger. Samples of those stains were sent for DNA analysis by Dr. Neil Fernandopulle of Pinten Institute at Kitulwatte Road, Borella.
The CCD also informed the magistrate that the productions in the case were kept at Colombo North Crimes Division laboratory and asked court to order the institute to retain the blood samples in safe custody.
Additional Magistrate Ravindra Premaratna also ordered some banks to provide details of the accounts of the first suspect to the CCD allowing an application made by the CCD in the court. He ordered the CCD to file a further report in court on January 10.
M.L.M. Ameen PC who watched the interests of the aggrieved party asked the magistrate to order the CCD to conduct investigations into certain matters revealed during the interview that the deceased MP had with Sri Ranga in Minnal TV programme. The counsel said that the deceased MP had disclosed certain facts about an alleged threat to his life to the TV commentator in that programme.
If the investigations were carried out based on that interview the court would be able to reveal indispensable facts about suspects and the killing he noted. He observed that certain high officers had acted irresponsibly from the inception of the investigation.
Their behaviour had damaged the independent investigations into the killing. Those officers never produced the suspect before the court or asked the magistrate to visit the suspect to record the suspect’s statements. He prayed court to consider the facts revealed in the interview as a voluntary statement made by the deceased.
According to media reports the Addl magistrate acceded to requests made by counsel.
The pertinent comments made by Maheswaran in the “Minnal” TV show are given below
“Five to six people are killed daily in the Jaffna peninsula. Many are abducted and go missing forever. This is done with the backing of a paramilitary group. At first they will send ten people from the south. After three to four months they will be replaced. Minister Douglas Devananda must take the responsibility for it”
“When I was in Jaffna a few days ago, I went to the Karainagar temple. EPDP members surrounded the temple. I have been shot at previously by EPDP groups in Nallur and Ilavalai. The Government has withdrawn my security. I had to seek help from private security firms. Under then Premier, Ranil Wickremesinghe, I had 18 security personnel for seven and half years. At the last general election I escaped death by gunfire. It was due to Police reports that I was provided security. ”
The assassination has received much attention and the investigation is being viewed with widespread interest. If interested parties thwart or obstruct the course of justice there is likely to be widespread condemnation. Logically it is in the interests of the Government to ensure a free, fair and credible investigation.
Nevertheless the appalling record of this regime in probing human rights violations against Tamil civilians does not offer much hope. The Trincomalee student murders and Muthur ACF employee massacres being notoruous examples of official “apathy”.
There are also the cases of Tamil National Alliance MP’s Joseph Pararajasingham and Nadaraja Raviraj killed in Batticaloa and Colombo. Nothing worthwhile has materialised.
One difference here is that Maheswaran was a UNP Member. He was from the chief opposition party and not the TNA described derisively by Devananda as Tiger Nominated Agents.
From Ranil Wickremasinghe to SB Dissanayake the UNP has rallied strongly in condemning the killing and blaming the Government. It remains to be seen whether the UNP will sustain this pressure or drop it in the days to come.
One thing however is clear. Whoever is directly responsible for the assassination, it is the Government that bears ultimate responsible. It’s the Govt that is responsible for protecting citizens including legislators. In this case the cutting down of security for MP’s including Maheswaran is a serious act of omission.
The Government has to explain why Maheswaran’s security was whittled down from eighteen to two and why it was not restored in spite of his appeal.
It is cruelly ironic to note that the Government reduced Maheswaran’s security under the pretext that his” threat assessment” was low thereby implying that the LTTE did not pose a threat to him. After his murder sections of the Government are trying to point the finger at the LTTE.
Given the machinations of this regime and the utter contempt displayed towards the truth few people expect a genuine investigation to take place. There is also the evident self-interest of the apprehended assassin.
If a hypothetical question is posed as to how the assassin can save himself there can only be one answer. The assassin has to absolve the state and its minions like the EPDP and blame the LTTE. It is only then that he can wriggle out. Whether he was actually a tiger double agent or not his only way of “escape” is to confess
All evidence of Vasanthan’s links to the EPRLF, EPDP, MSD and intelligence must also be denied and destroyed
Even if all this is done and a grand confession of the assassin being an agent of the LTTE is publicised there could be few takers for it because of the way this Government has handled the issue.
There is a crisis of credibility.But then a crisis of credibility is not of any consequence for this regime.
