Velupillai Prabhakaran Alive Claim

A "mafia gang" which wants to use Prabhakaran as a "brand name", collects funds from Tamils living around the world is operating at a major scale, said Karthic Manoharan, the son of Prabhakaran's elder brother Velupillai Manoharan.

Sri Lanka on Monday dismissed as a "joke" a top Tamil nationalist leader's claim that LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, who was killed in 2009 by the island nation's military, was still alive.

His remark came after Tamil Nationalist Movement leader Pazha Nedumaran claimed on Monday that Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader KS Alagiri is alive.

Fourteen years after the Sri Lankan government declared LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran dead, former politician in Tamil Nadu Pazha Nedumaran today claimed that he is alive and healthy, and that he will soon make a public appearance.
