[TamilNet, Saturday, 04 February 2006, 14:15 GMT]
Mr. M. Thavarajah, the principal of Valaichenai Hindu College, has returned home Saturday morning around 9:00 a.m. Denying that any kidnapping was involved in his temporary time away from his family, the principal said: "There is no truth in the reports that I was abducted," he told reporters when contacted over phone.

He further said that although he managed to pass information to his family that he will be delayed, confusion arose as he did not contact the family in a timely manner due to the lack of communication facilities, he said adding that he was made aware of the reports late Friday.

He was delayed without being able to meet the Education official of the LTTE on time, he said refusing to provide further details.

The Principal said he has clarified the complexity of the circumstances involved to the concerned authorities including Valaichenai Police.
