False allegations to bring disrepute to Army
A post-mortem report on the corpse of a man found floating in the Mailavattuvan river and report of a medical examination on a girl allegedly sexually abused by soldiers had proved that both these allegations were false and were meant to bring disrepute to the army, senior army official sources said.
These allegations were made in local and foreign websites. Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) Dr K. Sugumar of Chenkalady Rural Hospital, in his post-mortem examination report on Rasiah Nimalesh to Batticaloa Magistrate's Court on February 21, 2010 certified that the death occurred due to extensive Cranio Cerebral injury caused by being bitten by a crocodile which in turn led to cardio respiratory arrest.
Police investigations have also confirmed that the victim had fallen prey to a crocodile while crossing the river or taking a bath.
JMO Dr M.M.A Rahuman of Batticaloa Teaching Hospital, in his Medico-Legal Report to Batticaloa Magistrate's Court on the alleged attempt of physical abuse by several soldiers on a nine-year old girl on February 14, 2010, has determined that no vaginal penetration has occurred to this girl as per medical evidence.
The report has further affirmed that the girl remains clinically free of any Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) and there are no fresh or healed injuries or tears on her body. Army sources said a string of website media reports, many of them originated from Sri Lanka with different hidden agendas and vested interests, tried to couple the alleged incident of the girl with the death of the Tamil civilian, Rasaiah Nimalesh of G.S.O. Road, Mawadivembo in a schematic and subtle manner, to tarnish and ridicule the Sri Lanka Army image and bring disrepute to the country. Some reports also said furious civilians stormed local army installations
All those national and international websites which published concocted elaborate accusations with no basis regarding the corpse, found floating in the Mailavattuvan river have been now proved completely wrong, baseless and grossly malicious as both Medical Officers have certified otherwise.
