About an hour later, around 250 armed LTTE cadres occupied the police station. Then the Sinhala police officers along with their families were sent to the airport. Tamil Police officers were taken to the St Mary's Church, with their families. The acting Officer-in-Charge and four other policemen were detained. LTTE also removed Rs. 45 million in cash, gold jewelry, 109 T 56 rifles; 77 T 84S rifles; 28 light machine guns; 29 self-loading rifles; 65 sub machine guns; 78 .303 rifles and 78 SAR 80 guns from the police station.LTTE ordered all police stations in Eastern Province to be vacated by 2:30 p.m. or face the consequences. The Inspector General of Police, Ernest Perera, also instructed the police officers to surrender, at the request of President Ranasinghe Premadasa.[1][4] Police officers laid down their arms after being promised safe conduct and subsequent release.Then the Sinhalese officers were sent to the Army or Air Force camps while Tamil officers were accommodated at schools. Meanwhile, the LTTE abducted 899 officers. About 125 were able to escape. Prisoners were taken to the Vinayagapuram and Trincomalee jungles.[5] Once they had arrived, the LTTE cadres lined up the officers, tied their hands behind their backs and shot them dead. In all, 600 to 774 police officers died.[2]But not all the officers complied at once. ASP Ivan Boteju – who was the OIC of Kalmunai police station – refused to surrender and kept on fighting with the LTTE from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He protested insisting that they "would be tortured if not killed [if they surrendered]". Within that period, he repeatedly requested air support and artillery support but was denied. At about 5:20 p.m. the IGP personally contacted Botheju, ordered to cease firing and surrender. When they had laid down their arms, LTTE took over and all communications with the Colombo Police headquarters were lost. Then the LTTE cadres took them to the Tirukkovil jungles and executed them.[6]In Kalmunai, LTTE also fired at an Army convoy, killing ten Army soldiers. It was reported that 324 police officers who died were Sinhalese and Muslim. All of them were taken to the Tirukovil jungles by the LTTE, blindfolded, hands tied, made to lie down on the ground, and shot.Read the whole story!<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_massacre_of_Sri_Lankan_Police_officers" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_massacre_of_Sri_Lankan_Police_officers</a>[YOUTUBE]fIzrk42ktzs[/YOUTUBE]අද පොලිස් නිලධාරින්ට මිරිස් වතුර ගැහුවා කියලා නාහෙන් අඩන පොඩි එවුන්ට ලොකු මතක් කර දීමක්!!! මෙහෙමයි උබලගේ UNP මහ එවුන් පොලිසියට එදා සැලකුවේ!!p:s - දැන් මෝඩ ආතල් දෙන්න එපා මම අද මෝඩ *කෙක් පාර්ලිමේන්තුවෙදි මිරිස් වතුර ගහලා කරපු දේ සාදාරනයි කියනව කියලා! </blockquote>
