Three persons have been arrested over the murder of TNA Parliamentarian Nadarajah Raviraj in November 2006.

Police said that one of the arrested is a member of Sri Lanka Navy and the other two are former members.

Raviraj died after being shot on his way to work on November 10, 2006. One of his guards also died in the incident. He was 44 at the time of death.

Raviraj, a former Mayor of Jaffna, entered parliament from Jaffna District in 2001 and again in 2004. He was fearless in expressing his views and generally sympathized with the LTTE.
