According to the report a complaint was lodged with Kayts police as well as the Human Rights Commission regarding their disappearance but there has been no serious action by the government authorities to locate their whereabouts so far. Meanwhile, it is reported that Fr. Jim Brown had been allegedly accused of helping the rebel group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to dig bunkers by the Sri Lankan Navy commanding officer of Allaipiddy before the incident. He is presumed dead. [2] [3].
