There is a torture chamber in Chunnakam Police Station. We were taken to this chamber. Military intelligence operatives from Oorelu camp, 3 Tamil policemen belonging from Chunnakam police station and Sinhala Police officers gathered there started torturing us after being charged with a theft case.
I was electrocuted. My feet were nailed. My thumb finger was thrashed into a pipe and I was hung in that pipe. They had beaten me after being tied with table.
We were brutally tortured by the Chunnakam Police like that. Our friend Suman was beaten up after being tied with table asking whether he wanted a separate country. Following the brutal attack on him, blood was dripping from his mouth and nose. After that our friend was dead pathetically.
