The story of the above photo is one of the reveals made by one Vedan, a LTTE cadre who was arrested when he was admitted to the Trincomalee hospital with a fracture in his leg.
The one consuming food on the left of the photo is the second-in-command of the LTTE military wing of the Eastern Province, Colonel Ramesh. He was also the deputy of Colonel Jeyam who was the leader of the Eastern Province after the Karuna's break away. The one in conversation with Ramesh is a disabled LTTE area leader. The photo has been taken in the last week of April this year and Ramesh is seen consuming food in a certain place in the jungle away from war tension with his firearm behind him.
Vedan who was arrested at Trincomalee hospital was fleeing to North with his leader Baskaran. Injured Vedan stopped at Thambalagamuwa on the way. Baskaran and his group retreated to the Peraru jungle. They exchanged fire with a group of home guards while crossing the Trincomalee-Habarana Road. Baskaran and the group had to leave behind a laptop and some other equipment. Security forces found this photograph from that laptop.
Vedan who was arrested at the Trincomalee hospital later revealed the story behind it.
The government security forces officially announced the capture of Thoppigala on 11th. Ramesh and the other LTTE leaders are believed fled to North without being caught by the security forces.
