MDMA to seek replies from KP in Rajiv Gandhi case

The Multi-Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA), which is investigating the conspiracy angle in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, is preparing a questionnaire for LTTE financier Selvarasa Pathmanathan , currently in Sri Lanka s custody.

MDMA, which comprises experts from CBI and other agencies and has been granted another extension by the government despite noting for closure of this unit, has begun the work of preparing questions on the basis of its decade-old findings. These would be sent to Sri Lanka where Pathmanathan alias KP is being questioned by security agencies, official sources said.

Pathmanathan, the alleged financier and a key accused in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, was arrested in a Southeast Asian country and brought to Sri Lanka.

Declared as one of the most-wanted terrorists by Interpol, he is suspected to be a key person in LTTE s global network for procuring weapons and other equipment.

Jane s Defence Intelligence Review, the premier London-based defence magazine, had reported that the LTTE had two international wings KP Department and Aiyanna Group that were engaged in global terrorist activities.

The CBI had been on the trail of KP for over a decade and its team had travelled to New Zealand in 2002. The agency questioned three Tamil nationals there after securing permission from authorities in that country.

The term of MDMA, which is headed by a CBI official and comprises officers from IB, RAW and Revenue Intelligence, ended on May 31 this year and was given a post-facto approval.

The Jain Commission, which went into Rajiv Gandhi s killing, had come across various leads which included bank transactions of the LTTE s frontal outfits before and after the assassination and on movement of arms meant for LTTE during that period.

The MDMA has also been focusing on bank details of Pathmanathan. India has taken up the matter with Germany to get the bank details of KP , who is alleged to be a major gun-runner for the terrorist group.

The investigators want to know the bank details of KP and some more people, including some Indians who were alleged to have hatched the conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi.

The former Prime Minister was assassinated on May 21, 1991 when a LTTE suicide bomber blew herself up at an election rally in Tamil Nadu. KP is believed to be the chief arms procurer for the LTTE and also in-charge of collection of finances for the banned outfit outside Sri Lanka.

The CBI had approached nearly 23 countries with letters rogatory for Pathmanathan along with its findings against the terrorist leader.

Then why Interpol has not requested SL to Handover him for their own interrogation???!

including some Indians who were alleged to have hatched the conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi.

If KP revealed info related to those guys, it would bring out interesting stories.
At the same time, those people would try their best to shut his mouth too!!

Rajive came to aid Tamils but he was killed by Tamils.
When Rajive walked in to Sri Lanka with his Indian Army, Majority did not approve it. Rajive was a powerful leader in the region. He was a excellent leader to the Indian nation. LTT did not have mercy. Ltt has been brutal and barbaric. They killed this valuable leader.

Table is turned. Now the turn of the Indian and Sri Lankan Governments to find all roots of LTT and eradicate killer organization from the face of the world.

He came to help Tamils???
If he or his mother really wanted to help , they did not have to help militant group to grow and fight to with Sinhala army. Instead those selffish Indians would have advocated with SL Govt. If they really interested in helping Tamils.
They have their wested interest in SL and used Tamils as scape goats. Rajiv paid the price!!

When Rajive walked in to Sri Lanka with his Indian Army, Majority did not approve it.

You mean Majority ethnic group of SL??
LTT did not have mercy. Ltt has been brutal and barbaric. They killed this valuable leader.

Rajiv's IPKF also did not show any mercy to innocent Tamils.The first thing the did when they started the war was raping the girls who were in the university hostels and killed them. !! What a great gentlemen force in the world!!
There was a Sinhala soldlier to almost killed Rajiv- remember ! Was he in LTTE payroll too!! Or was he a Member of JVP - A friend rebels of Sri Lanka!!

I aksed this question twice in this forum. No one answered!
I too have this question in my mind!
VP was killed on 18th May!?!?!
DNA test was done on 19th May and proved that DNA of VP's body !!?!? and DNA of Charles Antony's body matched!?!?
It proved that both of them are father and son!

But, later SL arrested VP's parents in the IDP camps!??!!?
So it is very easy to check the DNA sample with their sample!!??
Still death certificate pending!?!?!?
Why??
WHY?????!?!?!?
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?
