Coimbatore: The CB-CID who have taken over the investigation of the death of the Srilankan underworld kingpin Angoda Lokka recommended DNA testing of Angoda Lokka's organs to ascertain that it was him.
Stating that organs such as the liver would have been kept separated during the autopsy, they recommended that DNA testing of the organs must be undertaken. Further, they also recommended that blood samples from the relatives of Angoda Lokka in Sri lanka should be collected and DNA testing be undertaken. A report of this testing would confirm the identity of the deceased.
The Srilankan underworld kingpin Angoda Lokka who resided at Green Garden in Cheran Maanagar, allegedly passed away on July 3, at the Coimbatore GH, but was identified under the name Pradeep Singh. The Srilankan media, however, released news that the underworld kingpin Angoda Lokka was poisoned to death by his girlfriend.
An autopsy of the remains of the deceased confirmed the death as a suspicious death and a case was filed at the Peelamedu police station. Following this, two women, Sivagami Sundari and Amani Thanji, claiming to be his relatives took the body and cremated it in Madurai.
Meanwhile the Peelamedu police, who conducted an investigation found that the Aadhar card submitted under the name of Pradeep Singh was fake. Following this they arrested the two women who resided with the deceased person, Sivagami Sundari of Madurai and Amani Thanji of Colombo.
Investigations conducted with the women revealed that the deceased person was involved in various murders and drug smuggling cases and was the Srilankan underworld kingpin Madhuma Sandhana Vasantha Perera (a) Angoda Lokka. It was also revealed that Sivakami Sundari and her friend Dhyaneshwaran of Erode had helped Angoda Lokka to procure a fake Aadhar card By hiding the information of his citizenship.
The police then filed a new case regarding this and arrested Dhyaneshwaran from the Indra Nagar area in Erode. Foreign currencies, laptops, mobile phones and SIM cards were retrieved from him. Following this, all the three persons were remanded to judicial custody until July 17.
