The remains were initially buried at Batticaloa – Kalliyankadu hindu cemetery.
However, due to public protests the remains were exhumed following a court order.
The Magistrate ordered the Batticaloa district secretary to exhume the remains of the terrorist from the Batticaloa – Kalliyankadu hindu cemetery and bury in a suitable place.
However, following a discussion among religious leaders in the Batticaloa District they have informed Batticaloa District secretary M. Udaya Kumar not to bury the remains anywhere in the Batticaloa district.
As a result the remains are still kept at the Batticaloa hospital.
