The ‘Q’ Branch of the State Police on January 8 intercepted a consignment of explosives bound for Sri Lanka and took six persons into custody, who admitted that they were meant for use by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports The Hindu. Based on intelligence inputs of an attempt to smuggle large quantities of detonators, police personnel intercepted two persons moving in a suspicious manner near the railway station in Madurai. S. Sivakrishnan alias Nandan of Sri Lanka and S. Muthuramalingam of Kamuthi were found to be in possession of 5,000 detonators concealed in a travel bag. During interrogation, Sivakrishnan confessed he had delivered a consignment of explosives to the LTTE on January 3 through K. Murugapandi of Kamuthi and a couple of agents. The police arrested Murugapandi from a lodge in the city. He admitted to smuggling as instructed by an LTTE leader. Investigators said Murugapandi was paid INR 150000 through a hawala transaction. The money has been recovered. Special teams formed to arrest others involved in the smuggling arrested an auto rickshaw driver R. Raja, M. Poo Murugan of Kadaladi, S. Chandra and M. Senthilmurugan of Mudukulathur. Police are on the lookout for Raghu of Chennai, who allegedly supplied the explosives.

The Tamil Nadu Police arrested on January 16-night Nathan alias Suruli alias Thambithurai Parameswaran, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) Tamil Nadu intelligence unit chief, from a hideout at Madipakkam, reports New Indian Express. The police also arrested seven other Sri Lankan nationals, who worked under him as helpers to collect information about anti-LTTE leaders like Varadaraja Perumal and Douglas Devananda, besides posing as traders to buy items like spare parts for two-wheelers and boats to be sent back to Sri Lanka. According to police sources, Suruli, a resident of Jaffna in Sri Lanka, embarked on a Tamil Nadu mission a year ago after his leader Sanjeevi Master ordered him to increase intelligence inputs from the State. Sanjeevi Master is next to Pottu Amman, LTTE’s intelligence wing chief, in hierarchy and is reportedly in charge of the Indian subcontinent. He, along with the others in Tamil Nadu, had made several ‘business’ trips to Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry) and Rameswaram to send a variety of goods and raw materials, including steel balls, to the LTTE. While staying in Chennai, he worked as a driver of a car (which has now been seized), which was allegedly bought with hawala money sent by the LTTE.

Following the trail of cell phone contacts of Nathan alias Suruli, arrested along with seven others at Madipakkam on January 17 in the same case, ‘Q’ Branch police on January 20 intercepted Selvaraj, working in a sweet stall in Mumbai for the last 25 years, and seized small packets of ball bearings he had bought as samples. "Selvaraj did not know about the arrest of Nathan and had come down to strike a deal with him for the sale of ball bearings. We picked him up here with the sample packets," ‘Q’ Branch Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar said in Chennai, adding, Selvaraj was in regular contact with Nathan, who worked as the intelligence chief of the LTTE in Tamil Nadu. "We are scrutinising the cell phone contacts of Selvaraj. We have not got any other leads," he further said.

The Coastal Security Group (CSG) police on April 2 (today) neutralised a network involved in supplying uniforms to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to The Hindu.

A sum of INR 3000 and 50 soaps were also seized. G. Venugopal, CSG Inspector who carried out the raid, told The Hindu that the group had ventured into the sea in the guise of fishermen. They had confessed to having visited Iranatheevu twice in the last four days. Christhu is reported to have had an active role in meeting the LTTE agents.

The ‘Q’ Branch Police in Madurai here on May 18 arrested two Sri Lankan nationals allegedly supplying explosives and electronic gadgets to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports The Hindu. The duo had sent huge quantities of explosives to the LTTE through agents along the Rameswaram coast. Following information, police intercepted a Tata Sumo vehicle near Villapuram and took into custody P. Jayaraja alias Viji alias Vijayan of Mannar and T. Chinnavan alias Padmaraja of Jaffna. They were in possession of 44 walkie-talkie sets and INR 4.59 lakh in cash. K. Senthil of Madurai who provided logistic support to the two was also arrested sources in the intelligence agencies said. Preliminary enquiries revealed that Jayaraja and Chinnavan had entered the country as refugees in 1990 and stayed on in different parts of the State without renewing their registration. They often visited Sri Lanka, mostly LTTE-controlled areas, with the help of clandestine boat operators. Besides supplying about 20,000 detonators, they also provided Global Positioning System devices to Sea Tigers (the sea wing of the LTTE). Operating from Arappalayam in Madurai, their modus operandi was to transport explosives, explosive substances and gadgets through vans and hand them over to agents at Uchupuli. From there, the consignments would be ferried to LTTE camps. Sasi, one of the close associates of Jayaraja, was shot dead by the Sri Lankan Navy in 2007 when he was found venturing into the sea with a consignment, the sources said and added that five cans of resin were seized from Senthil’s house. “They were also smuggling tobacco and beedi bundles. We are trying to establish the source of explosives and supply network of this smuggling module of the LTTE. Special teams are also probing the source of money. It is not clear whether these suspects were involved in the supply of a large explosives consignment seized from a boat at Thangachimadam recently,” an unnamed senior Police official said.

The ‘Q’ Branch of the Tamil Nadu police on July 22 neutralised a major Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) procurement network, seizing five imported Yamaha outboard motors with a 40-horse-power capacity each. In connection with the seizures, the Police team arrested Kumargurubaran, a resident of Chennai, Ramesh, hailing from Ramanathapuram, and Manamohan from Pesalai in Sri Lanka, from near the Kattumanadi bus stop near Manalmelkudi. The motors were meant to be transported to Sri Lanka for the LTTE in a boat kept ready by Ramesh. "The gang had transported the motors from Chennai to Pudukkottai and was planning to take them by sea to Sri Lanka. We are yet to ascertain whose name the import consignment had been booked under and who collected it from the Chennai Port. There are more persons involved in the procurement of the motors and the investigation is on to find them," an unnamed senior Police official told Times of India. He added, "The smuggling for LTTE has been going on in Tamil Nadu. But, of late, we have been detecting more cases. However, LTTE is now more dependent on the supply from India as they are suffering huge losses from the war… They procure these things from all over India and smuggle it via villages along the east coast. The smuggling cases are more in Tamil Nadu because of its geographical proximity. Apart from the procurement for LTTE, there is commercial smuggling also happening between Sri Lanka and India. It is mainly to make profit using the wide differences in pricing of some items in both countries. Smuggling of beedi bundles are mostly for commercial purposes."

The ‘Q’ branch of the Tamil Nadu Police on July 27 claimed to have neutralised a terrorist module with the arrest of a 39-year-old suspected fundamentalist who allegedly was part of a plot to cause bomb blasts on trains and in Chennai and Tirunelveli. Sheikh Abdul Gafoor, employed in a shop in T. Nagar in Chennai, was arrested from a relative's house at Pettai in Tiruneveli and materials for making improvised explosive devices were seized from him, Times of India reported. "He has confessed to planning to blow up the Tirunelveli collectorate, and plant bombs on trains and in various parts of Chennai," a police officer said. All these were to be carried out on or before August 15. Police said the plot was allegedly hatched in Puzhal jail in Chennai and the kingpin was believed to be Pallavaram Ali Abdullah, a life convict. Abdullah was involved in eight cases, and had visited Pakistan in 1997 for training with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Abdullah, who is in jail since 2003, is a former member of the Jihad Committee and the Islamic Defence Force, both fundamentalist groups active in the last decade. Gafoor, police said, was an expelled member of the Towheed Jamaat, a political organisation dedicated to propagating Islamic religious precepts.
