New Delhi: India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI has) received the "documentation" confirming the death of LTTE chief V Prabhakaran, prime accused in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination, from the government of Sri Lanka, Home Minister P Chidambaram said yesterday.
"The CBI has told me that they received documentation from the Government of Sri Lanka confirming the death of Prabhakaran," the Home Minister said.
The CBI had said earlier that it was still awaiting the certificate of Prabhakaran’s death from the authorities in Sri Lanka.
Lankan forces had recovered the body of Prabhakaran on May 18 last year.
In the reply dated January 27 to a query, B N Mishra, Superintendent of Police at the Multi Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (under the CBI to investigate the case) said, "The matter is regularly being pursued through diplomatic channel". (PTI)
