Former chief medical officer of Mulaitivu Dr. V. Shanmugarajah giving evidence at the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission stated that during the battle between the govt forces and the LTTE, the LTTE forced us to give highly inflated figures of the wounded and the dead.
He also said that even if just a few civilians were wounded he was
forced to increase these figures by at least ten fold and convey it to
other factions outside. He also said that the doctors and the staff of
the Mulaitivu hospital had to treat not only wounded civilians but also
wounded LTTE cadres.
