Kapilan alias Nandhagopan, who is said to be the second in command of the LTTE’s Nediyavan Group abroad was captured by Sri Lankan authorities with the help of Iranian and Malaysian authorities, the Daily Mirror learns.

The Daily Mirror learns that the LTTE’s senior leader Nandhagopan was brought to Sri Lanka on March 6, 2014.

Nandhagopan has been functioning as one of the two deputy leaders of the LTTE overseas network controlled by Perinbanayagam Sivaparan alias Nediyavan.

Nandhagopan whose real name is Kapilan and another person Aravindhan alias Irumporai have been the two deputy leaders of the Nediyavan group in the Diaspora.

While Irumporai has been functioning in Europe, Nandhagopan has been based in South East Asia.

Nandhagopan was reportedly travelling under a false passport from Malaysia on a flight to London via Teheran when Sri Lankan authorities monitoring the LTTE leader’s movements were alerted by a tip-off from a South East Asian source.

Iranian authorities when informed were extremely cooperative and arrested Nandhagopan at the transit passenger lounge in the Teheran airport.

He was then refused permission to continue his journey on the basis that he was travelling on a false passport.

Given the choice of either being detained indefinitely in Teheran or turning back to Kuala Lumpur, Nandhagopan opted to return to Malaysia.

When Nediyavan’s key deputy arrived in KL he was promptly detained by the Malaysian authorities.

Meanwhile Sri Lankan officials had gone to Malaysia to interact with their counterparts in that country over the Nandhagopan affair. Thereafter Nandhagopan was “seized” by Sri Lankan officials and transported to Colombo on March 6.

Nandhagopan who sustained injuries from shelling during the war in Sri Lanka is crippled and walks with the aid of a walking stick like former LTTE political commissar Suppiah Paramu Thamilselvan. (D.B.S. Jeyaraj){jcomments off}

This news shouldn't have even exposed to public and media. Do not give any clue of these to tiger sympathisers in the west (US, UK, EU, etc) if you want to stay out of UN sponsored resolutions against SL via DM Android App

Each and every patriotic citizen has to be vigilant and should act as an informant whenever is required. At present some of escaped LTTE terrorists act as a silent group. We as the public should support the forces.
