Danuna Evades Capture

Danuna Evades Capture

Although there has been a massive manhunt for Danuna Tillakaratne, the son in law of General Sarath Fonseka, who went into hiding following threats made to his life by the current regime, Danuna has so far been successful in evading capture. This situation is particularly embarrassing for the Secretary of Defense, Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapakse, who is personally overseeing the efforts to capture Danuna, and who has allocated several hundred personnel from the armed forces and police to the task of capturing Danuna. A massive poster campaign has also been carried out across the country, offering a reward of one million rupees to anyone proving information that would lead to the capture of Danuna.

Inside sources reveal that Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapakse, the brother of President Mahinda Rajapakse, has started taking punitive action against senior members of the armed forces and police due to their failure to capture Danuna Tillakaratne. Raids on several locations across the country have also been carried out, following tip offs about Danuna’s whereabouts made by members of the public who are interested in claiming the one million rupee reward. However, none of the raids carried out have been successful in locating Danuna. A close watch is also being kept at the Katunayaka International Airport, as well as at several sea ports around the country, to prevent Danuna from being able to leave the country.

It is interesting that Danuna continues to evade capture despite the large amount of state resources and personnel from the armed forces and police that have been allocated to the task of his capture. Danuna is known to be a resourceful and intelligent man and is also believed to be quite fit, being a former school rowing champion. He is also believed to have the support of large groups within the armed forces, who are loyal to General Sarath Fonseka and also to his father, Brigadier T G Tillakaratne a distinguished former officer of the Sri Lanka Army. Danuna is also believed to have the support of a large percentage of the general public, who voted for General Sarath Fonseka at the recently concluded Presidential elections. These supporters of General Sarath Fonseka are outraged at the treatment meted out to the General, who is currently being held captive despite there being no charges brought against him, as well as the treatment meted out to his son in law Danuna, as well as the rest of his family by the current regime, as acts of political revenge. They have vowed to Keep Danuna safe from the clutches of this oppressive regime.
