Sept 28, Colombo: India is planning to send a team to question the LTTE arms dealer Kumaran Pathmanthan alias KP on the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
India's Delhi-based Multi-disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA) that is investigating the LTTE suicide attack on the former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991 is set to dispatch a team to Colombo to question KP who is in Sri Lankan custody.
"A team will go to Colombo to question KP once we get the political clearance from Sri Lanka," BN Misra, chief investigating officer of the MDMA was quoted by Times of India.
MDMA has earlier planned to send a questionnaire to the Lankan security agencies but now plans to send a team of CBI and intelligence officials to personally interrogate KP in detail as concerns are growing in India of a possible threat from remaining LTTE cadres and the pro-LTTE Diaspora.
Sri Lankan intelligence officials nabbed the elusive arms dealer and the self-appointed LTTE leader following the death of Prabhakaran in a South Asian country two months ago. Since then he has provided valuable information to the Sri Lankan officials on LTTE's arms procurement and other activities.
The Indian team is waiting for the clearance from the Sri Lankan government to question KP of not only his involvement in Rajiv assassination but also of his links with other foreign arms dealers.
