[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has arrested a key conspirator in the Vizhinjam arms case.

The agency arrested Satkunam alias Sabesan, a Sri Lankan national in connection with the case. The NIA said that he was a former member of the intelligence wing of the LTTE
...the Tamil Tigers, formally the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, is a plain vanilla Socialist ethnic liberation movement in northern Sri Lanka, crushed in 2009 after a 26-year civil war. Their claim to fame was normalizing the civilian suicide bomber, subsequently copied with great enthusiasm by various jihadi movements. Despite having been crushed, the remnants pop up from time to time, because revolution is much more fun for some than getting a job and getting on with life...
and was residing at Valsaravakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He was involved in arms and drug trafficking from Pakistain to Sri Lanka. The funds were being used for the revival of the LTTE, the NIA said.

The case was registered by the NIA based on the complaint by the NCB that five AK 47 rifles and thousand rounds of 9mm ammunition were seized along with 300kgs of heroin off Minicoy coast upon interception of the fishing vessel Ravihansi by the Coast Gaurd on March 18 2021.

The probe has revealed that the accused had arranged conspiracy meetings of LTTE sympathisers in India.

He had also played a crucial role in routing the proceeds of drug trafficking to former LTTE cadres in Sri Lanka for the revival of the outfit.
