 Two more men appeared from the shadows and assaulted Jeyaraj with baseball bats and metal rods, breaking his leg and injuring his head.In June 1993 Jeyaraj and his wife started a fortnightly, later weekly, Tamil newspaper on his own, the "Muncharie".The newspaper reported on LTTE's losses, including those on Operation Thunderstrike and Operation Riviresa, whilst other Tamil newspapers glossed over the losses.
