Army’s inhuman Ranjith group head identifiedUploaded by  admin Breakingnews

SriLanka Guardian exposed the gruesome account of the rape and murder of  Mrs Anita Annalingam in Jaffna by the clandestine army intelligence unit  called Ranjith group coming under the purview of the Army’s  Intelligence Head, Major General H. K. G. Hendawitharane.The Sri Lanka Guardian contact  in Vavuniya was able to tracked down the unit currently operating in the  Vanni. Our source said, the head of the unit is one Mohammed, a fair  skinned medium height stocky man and he is named by Major General  Hendawithrane as Ranjith to mislead his identity. Under Mohamed’s command, ruthless men are functioning, carrying out worst forms of human  rights abuses on the victims. Mrs Anita Annalingam’s gang rape and  murder is the telling story that speaks volume of the violent nature of  the Rajith group headed by Mohammed.

Sri Lanka Guardian also  reported that: ‘We have  photographic evidence of an individual who  experienced repeated torture that included burning of his body and  genitals with cigarettes and hot iron box and scars of beating with wire rods by Ranjith himself and his group. The person is physically  disabled and cannot engage in any heavy work’.

The complaint made by this individual  to the government Human Rights body did not result in any intervention,  but the facts provided to them were passed on to the Ranjith Unit,  resulting in the victim being put under further torture process for  complaining to the HR body.Our inquiry reveal Mohamed has been entrusted with the task of keeping a  tab on

Tamil residents in the Vanni area. Families connected to the  former LTTE cadres and those cadres released by the government are under  the watchful eyes of this group. Those identified as risky residents  are kidnapped and taken away and their whereabouts kept secret. The  clandestine nature of the Rajith group absolves responsibility of the  army in their violent conduct.
