“I am in Welikada prison.”
A letter came. The family was shocked. Very happy.
The family was very happy to receive a letter from a person who had been declared maveeran in the fighting and had completed the duties, saying “I am in Welikada prison.”
This was also surprising news for the LTTE. The family is trying to see their daughter and get her out through the ICRC. “We will send you back. But when we send you back, no one who sees you should think of joining the LTTE movement anymore. We will send you in such a condition.” The Sinhala officials of the Welikada prison said.
Every time they gave electric shocks, they said these words. They punished her until the nerves in her body were damaged. They handed her over half-dead, her nerves inoperative and she could not feel what was happening. The way she was sent back shows how much revenge the Sinhalese have on the Tamils. They sent her away so badly. The person who came to Vanni recovers somewhat after a long period of care by the combat doctors. A letter arrives for the national leader.
In it, it is written, “I want to become a Karumpuli.” The national leader also allows it. She engages in training for the Karumpulikal. She wanted to give an answer to the Sinhalese who sent her saying, “Your story is over.” On 16.03.2001, Major Aruna tells her story as a Karumpuli in the waters of Paruthithurai.
