Opening ceremony of LTTE temple

The opening ceremony of the newly formed LTTE front temple was held on 26 August 2007 in Colindale, Northwest London. Three LTTE activists have jointly purchased a shed and have undertaken extensive refurbishment work to the property to make it a temple.

The temple is said to be a Hanuman temple named as Aanchaneyar Kovil.

The three investors are said to be well known fraudsters in London. Leader of the three is a Harrow based former solicitor now operating a estate agency business, who lost his practising licence recently for defrauding the Legal Aid funds. He was also ordered by the Court to repay some of the funds fraudulently taken. The other one is a Colindale based businessman who had made wealth by winding up businesses and currently operating a supermarket in Colindale. The third one is a notorious credit card fraudster. He and his father and brother were convicted for defrauding the HSBC Bank for engaging in fraudulent transactions when they were running a fried chicken fast food takeaway shop in Colindale.

The solicitor has appeared as spokesperson for LTTE events and was the legal representaive for Rupert Soosaipillai alias Thanam, the LTTE finance head in the UK.

LTTE sources state that LTTE fundraising operative Bala Vaathi had meetings with the founders to come to arrangement to transfer part of the collection to the LTTE in Vanni.
