He claimed to have killed 2000 to 3000 Sri Lankan military personnel in one night at Elephant Pass, and had quipped that this made him more dangerous than the Coronavirus.
Following a public outcry over the remarks, Karuna was ordered to present himself to the CID to give a statement regarding the comments.
