Reportedly, ‘Angoda Lokka’ lived in Coimbatore under the assumed identity of Pradeep Sigh for around two years. Sivakamasundari, Dyaneswaran and Thanji had taken Angoda Lokka’s body to Madurai after post-mortem at CMCH on July 5 and cremated it there. With suspected foul play in the death of the person alleged by Indian authorities to be ‘Angoda Lokka’ ruled out, CB-CID will now concentrate on the second case, added Mr. Shankar. CB-CID investigation had also found that the ‘Angoda Lokka’had a pistol which the accused handed over to a Sri Lankan national in Madurai after his death. However, Sri Lankan authorities have not yet confirmed that the deceased person in question is in fact the Sri Lankan don hiding in India, ‘Angoda Lokka’.
