The leader of a violent Toronto street gang has been deported to Sri Lanka, six years after he was first ordered out of Canada for his crimes.

 Canada Border Services Agency officers escorted Jothiravi Sittampalam, pictured, back to his homeland on June 10 but federal officials only confirmed the removal yesterday. The convicted drug dealer was the boss of AK Kannan, an ethnic Tamil gang whose estimated 300 members waged a wild turf war against the rival VVT gang. At least three bystanders were killed in drive-by shootings and other violent acts by the gangs. Sittampalam began trafficking heroin shortly after arriving in Canada in 1990 as a refugee from the Sri Lankan Conflict.
