A former LTTE cadre has been reported missing by his wife after he travelled to Colombo on business.
Vadivel Asokkumar, who is originally from Puthukkudiyiruppu, was last seen by his wife when he left for Colombo on August 11.
He spoke to her the next day but has not made any contact since then, his wife, who has filed a complaint with the Vavuniya office of the Human Rights Commission, said.
Asokkumar was released in 2010 from custody after being forced to undergo the government's 'rehabilitation programme'.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
