Though gripped with fear for having given tip off about Saindamrudu suspects ... the driver who was forgotten by government; finally compensated with 50 lakhs!
When uncertain fears emerged that further attacks would take place with the whole country in an unstabilised footing after the Easter attack of April 21st, security forces were able to successfully prevent another attack by members of Zaharan's family and some others in Saindumarudu area just after 4 days. The person behind the incident referred to was a special spy.
This person concerned had been hired to transport some stock of goods from Negombo to Amparai on April 9th and that was of course before the Easter attack. Subsequently he had felt some suspicion
about those who were inside his hired vehicle and he had kept thinking about it. He has thus taken action in sounded security forces about the suspicion he had about the stuff he was transporting saindamarundu, Amparai, thus carrying out his duties as a true citizen. He was attached to a hiring service as a lorry driver and was a father of three children. Because of his tip off the security forces were able to get at a stock of explosives together with other equipment. That very day it was also possible to find explosives inside a house in Nindavur, Samanthurai. The security forces were successful in detecting the location where relatives of Zaharan were taking refuge. Since they committed suicide when the clash with Zaharan's relatives was in progress, all future attacks came to a halt.

As news went round that the lorry driver had leaked the information, there was a possibility that he would be targeted by threats and he kept away from his services as lorry driver. For this very reason he has expressed his ideas to the media that he is spending his life with difficulties in maintaining his three children, having thus lost his mode of earnings. Criticisms were aimed that leaving room for a person who should be treated as a national hero to be left helpless. Until this situation was broadcast by media, it is unfortunate that the state made gave no thought about compensating him with any award.
Whatever it is, after a description about the difficulties he faces was spotlighted over rupavahini channels last week, attention of the President was focused upon this and after considering the truth of information provided by this person, the state decided to bestow Rs. twenty five lakhs for one piece of information and another Rs. twenty five lakhs, police media spokesman said.
