Prabhakaaran's son Charles Anthony injured in battle

Charles Anthony, eldest son of LTTE supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran is said to have been seriously wounded by artillery fire, while he was at Puthukkudiyiruppu. Thereafter, LTTE cadres had taken him to the ‘No Fire’ Zone (NFZ) and presently, Prabhakaran’s doctor, ‘Puri’, is said to be treating Charles Anthony. An LTTE leader, S. Ramachandran (code name within the LTTE and Tamil Diaspora loyal to the LTTE), living in Toronto, Canada, received this information via e-mail. Ramachandran is believed to be collecting funds from the Tamil Diaspora in Canada. He is a relative of Prabhakaran’s wife, Madhivadani. The e-mail had further stated that Prabhakaran is very concerned of his son’s injuries.
Prabhakaran named his eldest son after Charles Anthony, a close and loyal confidante of his, who was killed in confrontations with the Army. Earlier, on a tip-off on the whereabouts of Charles Anthony alias ‘Seelan’, then number two of the LTTE, the Army encircled Meesalai near Chavakachcheri. Alerted of the arrival of the troops, Seelan, along with Aruna, Anand and Ganesh had decamped on bicycles. Soldiers spotted them and opened fire. Seelan, already suffering an injured kneecap from the Chavakachcheri Police Station attack, had to abandon his bicycle and run through a paddy field, in an attempt to give the slip to the troops.
While on the run, it was said that Seelan, further injured by gunshots and unable to run further, requested his men that he be killed, before he fell into the hands of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA). When his comrades-in-arms hesitated, Seelan had told them that he could not bear the pain anymore, and could not move fast. Therefore, he ordered Aruna, his childhood friend from Trincomalee, to finish him off.
When Aruna hesitated, he had screamed at him, “Shoot me, I don’t want to fall into their hands alive.” Finally, Aruna is said to have placed his rifle on Seelan’s forehead and shot him. Later, it was said that the LTTE was determined to avenge Seelan’s, a. k. a. Charles Anthony, death, and it meticulously planned, to take revenge on the SLA.
