The committee that was appointed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa to probe into the disappearances and abductions of recent times has started an inquiry into a complaint by N. Vidyatharan, the editor of the Tamil daily “Sudaroli”, that some unidentified men in a white van had made inquiries regarding his whereabouts on Wednesday.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, Mr. Vidyatharan, said that a group of men had come in a white van to his former residence – an apartment in Wellawatte -- on Wednesday, and made inquiries regarding his whereabouts from the security guard at the block of apartments. “They had threatened the watcher and asked him where I was and then left,” he said.
He added that the security guard had not turned up for work yesterday through fear.
After hearing of this development, members of the Special Presidential Committee on Disappearances and Abductions had met Mr. Vidyatharan and recorded his statement. “I am very glad those committee members came and promised me that they would take necessary action as soon as possible,” said Mr. Vidyatharan.
