Two LTTE operatives, Daya Master and George, who were arrested after they surrendered to the Sri Lankan security forces during the last phase of the 30-year-old civil war, were on Friday released on a bail by a court here.

The duo were released on bail by Colombo chief magistrate, Nishantha Hapuarachchi.

The order came nearly five months after they gave surrendered to security forces on April 22 near Putumatalan, the then ‘no fire zone’ where the top LTTE leadership was holed up.
