According to the complaint, SLA intelligence officer Suresh had taken away her son for ‘investigation’.

When the son failed to return home on 15 May, the mother had gone to the police station to make a complaint. But, the police refused to register a complaint.

The Sri Lankan police had told her that those who took her son would release him after inquiry.

Diluxon was earlier abducted by Karuna paramilitary personnel on 26 May 2005 and was released in 2007.
