LTTE chief Prabhakaran’s deputy was a RAW agent, claims new book

India TV News  

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam leader Gopalaswamy Mahendrarajah alias Mahattaya, who was once a deputy to the outfit’s supreme leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, was a Research and Analysis Wing agent, a new book has claimed. Gopal also mentioned that RAW’s links with Mahattaya, who the LTTE later executed on charges of being an Indian intelligence agent, was not known to the Indian Military Intelligence or the Intelligence Bureau. The book also suggests that the RAW -- which like other Indian institutions felt betrayed after Prabhakaran ordered Rajiv Gandhi's killing -- may have had a hand in the LTTE chief's elimination. Accordingly, the agency failed to factor that the LTTE leader would avenge the fighting against the Indian military in Sri Lanka by targeting Rajiv Gandhi one day.
