Defence authorities have found a look-alike of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, who is said to be a Tamil businessman of New Chetty Street, Kotahena, according to a report in the local Sinhalese newspaper Divaina.

Following the exposure, the man identified as Sathgunaraja, a wealthy supplier of goods to the north, has fled to India, Divaina reports.

Yesterday afternoon (May 26), an unidentified group had shot and wounded his son, who is said to be in critical condition in hospital.
