Chelliah Kumarasuriar was a Sri Lankan politician. He served as the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications (1970-1977) and a Member of Senate of Ceylon. He was a political rival of Alfred Duraiappah and was initially suspected of behind his death.[1] However, the assassination was widely blamed on the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its leader V. Prabhakaran.[2][3] On 25 April 1978 the LTTE issued an open letter, which was published in the Virakesari, claiming responsibility for the assassination of eleven people including Duraiappah.[4][5][6]
