A former senior commander of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Kanapathipillai Sivamoorthy alias Nagulan, is currently being detained and interrogated by the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), police said.
Nagulan, who had served in the Charles Anthony Brigade as a senior commander, was arrested in the Kopay area in Jaffna yesterday (26).
He was arrested based on information uncovered by another LTTE suspect by the name of ‘Ram’ who had been arrested by the TID last Sunday (24).
Nagulan had fled the country during the final stages of the war and had reportedly later returned to Pudumathalan. He had secretly been living at a welfare camp in Kopay for the past several years and had also attained marital status while there.
